[edit] Plot
The only way to become one of the boys again...is to become one of the girls. The high-heeled highjinx begin when three frat brothers, Dave (Barry Watson), Adam (Michael Rosenbaum), and Doofer (Harland Williams)who live in the K.O.K fraternity house, are falsely accused with stealing money for the annual KOKtail Cruise planned at the end of the year. Now lacking finances, they realize that desperate measures need to be taken. Dave becomes Daisy, Adam takes on the role of Adina and Doofer basks in the beauty that is Roberta. They use pancake, pantyhose and "pluck" to pledge the ugly-girl sorority, D.O.G. They expect only to stay one night and be back to K.O.K. once they get their hands on the evidence they need to prove their innocence. As it is they end up staying in D.O.G. for the rest of the semester. Life's a drag as they try to find their way back to fraternity life, and dressing the part puts them in hilarious hot water time and again. What's a boy, pretending to be a girl, to do after treating women so badly? Scheme after scheme to clear their name ends up being fruitless but in the process they become in touch with their feminine side, our "girls" realize the error of their chauvinistic ways and make up for their mistakes.
