Sorority House

Anne Shirley plays a new college student who becomes caught up with getting into a sorority in "Sorority House."

The film also stars James Ellison and Barbara Read.

Alice (Shirley) is the daughter of a grocer, who surprises her by getting the money together to send her to college. She is thrilled beyond belief.

She's assigned to a boarding house and has two roommates - one sorority reject and one desperate young woman who just has to get into a sorority. Alice doesn't really care, though it all sounds pretty interesting.

Equally interesting is the big man on campus she meets almost immediately (James Ellison) who talks her up to the various sororities. Soon, they all want her, believing her father to own a chain of grocery stores.

The sororities don't care about a young woman's character, it's all about being in an elite group. However, naive Alice soon sees the light and realizes a few things about values.

Anne Shirley is very sweet and does a good job in this role. She was a very likable actress. She stands out, too, among the better-dressed, overly made up and coiffed young women.

I have been out of college for so long, I have no idea how important sororities are any longer. I went to a music school, so it wasn't like a big college. I'd like to think these things don't matter any longer, but since one still reads about accidents during fraternity hazings, I wonder.
