FARCE. Howie, a college freshman, has a problem meeting girls—they don’t want to meet him. Howie is so socially inept, his best friend is his pet canary, Larry, and the two even wear matching outfits! When a sorority desperate for members accidentally accepts Howie as a pledge, Howie moves into the sorority house thinking this will help him meet girls. But when he spills a huge sack of birdseed all over the floor, gets his pants stuck in the toilet, drinks a glass of slime, and annoys just about every girl in the house, Howie finds his chances of getting a date rather slim, especially when the campus police chief arrives to close down the sorority after reports that a huge yellow chicken was seen entering the premises.
