The Best TV Movie I've Ever Seen, 16 February 1999
10/10
Author: Saayman from Cape Town, South Africa

Dying To Belong is about a girl who's mother pushes her into joining a sorority. While trying out the sorority houses on campus, she is befriended by a girl who also wants to be in a sorority, and she's really desperate about getting in. When they finally do get into a sorority house, the desperate girl is killed during an initiation prank. No one knows it, but the girl is determined to find out who killed her friend. While doing so, her life is being put in jeopardy by the actual killers.

Great acting by Hilary Swank, Tracy Middendorf, Sarah Chalke and others, a stunning soundtrack and a good script highlight this extremely winning movie, which is based on daily life at a college campus. If you get the chance to see this one, don't miss it. I've seen it about a million times, and it's interesting every time. It's aimed at the teenage crowd, but the whole family can enjoy it. If you're into tense thrillers, then this one is for you!!!

My Rating: 10/10
