Plot

At Adams College, the jocks rule from their house on high, the Alpha Beta fraternity. So when a group of socially-challenged misfits try to go Greek, they're instantly rejected by every house on campus. Deciding to start their own frat to protect their outcast brothers, the nerds soon find themselves in a battle royale as the Alpha Betas try to crush their new rivals.

When lovable nerds Gilbert and Lewis embark on their freshman year at Adams College, they are beset by taunting from the jocks of Alpha Beta fraternity, which only worsens when the jocks accidentally burn down their house and toss the freshmen out of the freshman dorm. To make matters worse, Lewis develops a crush on pretty Betty Childs, popular sorority sister--and the quarterback's girlfriend. Joined by the aptly-named Booger and violin-playing Poindexter, the nerds soon decide that they must form their own fraternity in self-defense. Soon the tables are turned as the nerds employ high-tech warfare against the jocks--but can they really succeed and make a difference?
