Kimberly, I wanted to deliver this myself.

Oh, my God!

You have been admitted to the 1991 pledge club

of Alpha Delta Rho Sorority Incorporated.

I'm going on line! I'm going on line!

- You're going to pledge? - Yes, yes!

By the end of the week, Kimmie,

you can add your name to a distinguished list

of lawyers, judges, doctors, entertainers�

All the women in her family.

And best of all, you'll be pledging under me,

the new dean of pledges.

Oh, God, that's so great!

We're going to be sisters.

- Oh! - I'm going to be sick.

? I know my parents loved me ?

? Stand behind me, come what may ?

? Mmm ?

? I know now that I'm ready, yeah ?

? For I finally heard them say ?

? It's a different world ?

? Ooh ?

? Than where you come from ?

? Yes, it is now, yeah ?

? Here's our chance to make it, hey! ?

? And if we focus on our goal ?

? You can dish it! ?

? We can take it, hey ?

? Just remember that you've been told ?

? It's a different world ?

? It's a different world ?

? It's a different world ?

? It's a different world ?

? Yeah, than where you come from ?

? Ooh ?

? Than where you come from! ?

Now, brothers, kick it.

Now kick it harder.

Now kick it faster.

Now break it down.

Oh, the pledges are looking good, man.

We've been working on that step for days

and they finally got it down.

Notice the unity of the unison.

There's a oneness here.

And there's always one of those,

some clown who thinks this is his personal showcase.

Yeah, like you did when you were on line.

But I learned to put my ego aside,

and so shall Terrence�

Oh, man.

�with a little help from me.

Little brother No Play, get back in line.

All of you all, line up.

Who are you?

The bold, the brave, the few!

We're Kappa Lambda Nu!

- What? - The bold, the brave, the few!

We're Kappa Lambda Nu!

- I want to hear it. - The bold, the brave, the few!

We're Kappa Lambda Nu!

- The bold, the brave, the few! - Who spit on me?

- We're Kappa Lambda Nu! - Who spit on me?

The bold, the brave, the few! We're Kappa Lambda Nu!

The bold, the brave, the few! We're Kappa Lambda Nu!

Ahem!

Ribbit.

Good afternoon, big sister Gorgeous One, so lovely to behold.

- Fine as wine. - Rich as gold.

- Deep as ebony. - Sweet as a rose.

Oh, big sister, do you suppose that when these toads grow up,

if these toads grow up, we can be just like you?

I don't think so.

Little sister Sassafras,

do you think you have what it takes to be an Alpha Delta Rho?

Oh, yes, big sister Gorgeous One.

Good.

Then knock down that door.

Knock down that door?

Is there an echo in here?

Little sister Do Right�

knock down that door.

I have knocked down the door.

You certainly have.

I see someone has what it takes to be an Alpha Delta Rho.

But that someone was still late.

So that someone is going to have to make me breakfast tomorrow morning,

7:00 a.m. sharp.

I like my eggs scrambled, my toast dry, and my juice sweet.

Kimberly!

Kimberly Reese!

Oh, Mr. Gaines�

You have not been dismissed, bullfrog.

Hit the road, toads!

Oh, Kimmie, you're doing just great.

Thanks.

But I can't show you any preferential treatment.

- I didn't expect it. - That's my Do Right.

Kimberly!

Oh�

How do you deal with his moods?

Now, it's not enough that you got to wear that toad around my food.

You burned two burgers and my buns.

Your pledging's going to send me to the poorhouse.

Kim. Kim, I am watching you humiliate yourself. Why?

So you can go to the stupid Alpha Delta Rho parties?

It's a lifelong association.

Alpha Delta Rho is a powerful force

- in the Black community. - Mmm-hmm.

Their scholarship paid for my first two years in college,

and, yes, their parties are alive.

You've been brainwashed.

We're Kappa Lambda Nu! The bold, the brave, the few!

We're Kappa Lambda Nu! The bold, the brave, the few!

We're Kappa Lambda Nu! The bold, the brave, the few!

We're Kappa Lambda Nu! The bold, the brave, the few!

We're Kappa Lambda Nu!

Roaches dismissed.

Come on, come on.

Hold, hold, hold it.

I think you need to introduce yourself personally.

Little brother Humpty, 'cause my head is shaped like an egg.

- Perfect. - Lots of good stuff.

Little brother No Play.

Self-explanatory.

Yes.

Well, I can see it's payback time.

It certainly is.

I seem to remember when you two pledged.

Remember you, Miss Siditty, it almost killed you.

No fancy dresses, no makeup, no high heels,

and you, my brother, had to wear them,

but you dug it 'cause it made you tall for the first time in your life.

It built character, Walter.

That's how good Greeks are made.

Come to think of it,

my boys are going to be sporting some spiked heels soon.

Yeah, do it!

I like that.

Come on, Hamilton. Get that island blood flowing.

It takes some smooth moves to be Kappa Lambda Nu.

Oh! What happened to the little brother Humpty?

He's fallen, and he can't get up.

I can't work these damn shoes.

What do you mean, "can't"?

But I can, sir.

Allow me.

Well�

Hamilton, little brother No Play

doesn't seem to have any problem with his pumps.

Probably because he's worn them before, big brother, sir.

So uncalled for.

Come on, Terrence, come kick it with me.

Yeah, take a load off.

Come on, then, sit down.

Put your pumps up on the table.

Have a little drink.

And the rest of you�

Well, Terrence, what do you think they should do?

Oh, yeah. Back to work, roaches.

You heard your brother.

Back to work.

Okay, little sister Sassafras,

what is the purpose of Alpha Delta Rho?

Ribbit! Alpha Delta Rho was established in 1918 to�

uh�

uh�

My most humble apologies, big sister Gorgeous One,

but� I don't know what our purpose is.

Then why are you pledging?

'Cause no other sorority on campus can step like the Alpha Deltas.

Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!

- Whoa! Whoa- - Toads!

Please! Discover your roots on your own time.

Alpha Delta Rho is not about stepping.

In fact, what are the eight principles of Alpha Delta Rho?

Sassafras?

- Ribbit! Fellowship. - Ribbit! Scholarship.

- Ribbit! Service. - Ribbit! Charity.

You're late!

Ribbit! Humility.

What are the other three principles, Do Right?

Faith, determination, and sisterhood.

Ribbit.

That wasn't a very convincing recitation.

Perhaps you'd like to write them down 100 times

on index cards before you leave.

I have to go to work at the funeral parlor.

I can't be late, Whitley.

Look, you little bullfrog.

Those funeral parlor customers ain't going anywhere, are they, pledges?

However�

I shall be merciful.

Your assignment is due tomorrow morning, Do Right.

Not again.

Ribbit.

Good evening, Old Grouchy Roommate from Hell.

It's 4:00 a.m.

I'm here to collect your assignment.

Get out of here. She's sleeping.

Out of my way, mophead.

You should feel privileged, Do Right.

I don't often make house calls to the pledges.

Kim, get up and tell her off.

If she hadn't passed out, she would tell you

how to get off, when to get off, why to get off,

and just how fast to get there.

- Freddie, help me up. - Now you're in trouble.

Go ahead, Kim, sock it to her.

I don't have my assignment, big sister Gorgeous One.

Kim!

You're not living up to your name, Do Right,

or my expectations.

Shape up!

When I was a pledge, I never slept.

I never ate.

Excuse me, big sister Power Trip.

She is pre-med and working two jobs.

Too bad.

Do Right, you are a direct reflection on me.

Don't do me wrong.

Listen up, you sorry excuses for men.

None of you seem to get it.

So true.

That is, none of you except Terrence.

And because of your outstanding individual effort,

I hereby dub thee

little brother Mo' Better than Everybody Else.

Should be little brother Kiss-Up.

You just worry about holding up my nectar.

Thank you, sir.

- I'll wear it with distinction. - All right.

Your assignment for today, gentlemen, is to wallpaper my bathroom.

And I want the design to match.

No mistakes.

Therefore, I'm putting little brother Mo' Better in charge.

Do whatever he tells you.

Yes, big brother Dr. Jekyll,

because there is no place to Hyde, big brother, sir!

Say it together.

Yes, big brother Dr. Jekyll,

because there is no place to Hyde, big brother, sir!

That was beautiful, beautiful.

All right!

You heard the man. You better listen to me,

because little brother No Play don't play. You dig?

I want you to grab that wallpaper,

get your exacto knives and start scraping.

Meanwhile, I'm going to partake of some coconut nectar.

Fellas, you know who my pop is, hmm?

Colonel Bradford Taylor.

Don't let me get the military on you.

You want to see my limbo?

God, help me!

Mr. Gaines, you know, I never thought I would see the day that Kimberly Reese

was taking orders from Whitley Gilbert.

The child is confused.

This morning she called me "big sister Gorgeous One."

Good morning, big sister Gorgeous One,

so lovely to behold.

Yes, yes, I'm lovely, I'm beautiful.

Now serve the chow.

It's cold. Start over.

Yes, big sister Gorgeous One.

And, Do Right,

do put some butter on those grits.

I'm not on a diet.

Whitley, your uncle called this morning.

- Which one? - The Marquis de Sade.

Ah�

After all these years, finally a sense of humor.

Whitley, I think you need to lighten up on Kim.

Kim is my sister.

She's my special. I know what's best for her.

All right, fine, fine.

But I want you to know that if your pledges call me a name one more time,

you will be persecuting them on the street.

Ribbit.

How refreshingly prompt of you, Do Right.

Mmm. Smells delicious.

Get some water.

Here, big sister Gorgeous One. Water.

What is wrong with you, pledge?

Apologize this instant.

I don't think so.

Homegirl is going to get kicked off the line now.

Yes, she is, if she doesn't apologize this instant.

I have nothing to apologize for.

If anybody should be apologizing, you should.

I don't feel that way, big sister Gorgeous One.

Shut up, toady!

You know, the only reason why she's doing this

is because we're taking it.

Now, that's true.

Now, she can kick one of us off the line,

but she can't kick us all off.

Now, what does going to bed at 4:00, getting up at 5:00

and fixing her breakfast have to do with sisterhood?

Not a thing.

- I'm with Kim. - Me too.

Uh-oh.

You'll regret this.

You will regret this!

I'm big sister Gorgeous One.

I am big sister Gorgeous One!

I am big sister Gorgeous One!

I am big sister Gorgeous One!

I thought I was the one.

A mutiny in The Pit.

The betrayal.

Just to think, I brought that girl into this sacred circle.

Can you imagine?

Dwayne�

Say something.

Go, Kim.

Whose side are you on?

Oh, baby, you need to calm down.

I've never seen you this way before.

Relax, relate, release.

Chill.

Dwayne, this is the way I was pledged.

I just want Kim to be all that she can be.

Then let her join the army, will you?

Come sit down.

Baby, you are drunk with power.

I'm not drunk.

Just a little tipsy.

Hey, Whitley.

Hear you like your food spicy.

What?

I never knew the meaning of the term "laughingstock" until now.

You mean it's all over campus?

Yep!

They're calling you big sister Alpha Delta

Rho, Rho, Rho your butt out of town.

Well, thank you for that information, Ron!

Wait, wait, wait.

Ron, why did you have to come and start with her, man?

It's funny, that's why.

Roaches.

Good afternoon, big brother Dr. Jekyll,

because there is no place to Hyde, big brother, sir!

Yeah, what do you want?

We forgot something in the closet, sir.

What's he doing in there?

Thinking, sir.

See, I've been a little wrapped up in myself today.

Well, you must be tired from all that introspection.

Why don't you come take a rest

and let your brothers do all the work.

On second thought, sir,

I think I'd rather join them in their chores.

Good idea.

Now get out of here.

Roaches.

Damn, I'm good!

Kimberly Reese!

There's only one way to settle this thing once and for all.

Be prepared to throw down.

What?

Come on, put them up. I'm ready for you.

Whitley, I'm not going to fight you.

Ah, suky suky now.

You scared I might clock you?

Whitley, listen, we both got a little carried away

with this pledging thing.

I mean, what if we just forget about what's happened and start again, okay?

Oh, it's too late for that, Benedict Arnold.

Give me that! What are you doing? Don't you-

Nobody humiliates me in public and gets away with it.

Nobody messes with my science projects!

Hey, Kim, watch the blouse.

Next time, you come dressed to fight!

Come on, let's go, Whitley.

You know, every once in a while, you should land one of those.

I was just trying to spare you.

Sorry I broke your heart, Kimberly.

Well, we can both put it back together�

big sister Gorgeous One.

Kimberly Reese, once my friend,

now my sister.

Welcome to Alpha Delta Rho.

Am I really in, Whitley?

Really, Kimmie.
