Summaries

Two fraternity brothers take advantage of their nerdy pledge's generous parents to spend time with him in Palm Springs and encourage him to mingle with girls, but things don't go as planned when they run into rival fraternity members.

A nerd gains the friendship of two of his frat brothers when his dad offers them his condo for the week in Palm Springs, and also offers the fraternity a hot tub and Jacuzzi if they can help his son find a girl. They meet two guys from a rival fraternity and make a bet on who can nail the Designated Babe first.—Ed Sutton <[email protected]>

Gawky, innocent, and utterly uncool, Wendell Tvedt--Theta Pi Gamma fraternity's newest pledge--is a proper bookworm and a late bloomer. Hoping to get lucky, Wendell's self-confident fraternity brothers Mother and Joe agree to accompany him on a week-long vacation to his parents' beachside house in Palm Springs, where the action is. Will the boys show Wendell the ropes to transform him into a real Casanova?—Nick Riganas
