This film included some of the most unpleasant characters imaginable. The film's conceit is that of a rivalry between two sororities at the fictional Tate University. But the result is a head-scratching study in human depravity.
The most troubling relationship in the film was that of young Katie Parker and her mom Lutie. The mother was a member of the Delta Beta Theta sorority, and Katie is on the threshold of joining during pledge week as a "legacy" recruit. But after reporting ethical misconduct on the part of the Deltas, Katie is ostracized both the university, and her mother takes the side of the sorority!
It was never made credible that Lutie would not be proud of her daughter for taking a stand against the underhanded tactics of Delta. The film's ending was especially smarmy when young Katie attempted to "honor" her mother by inserting her video from two decades earlier into the talent show.
Lutie should have supported her daughter, and she should have resigned as president of the alumni sorority group. For her part, Katie should have pushed back against the mother and dumped the old VHS video of her mother in the trash! What a couple of hypocrites!
From start to finish, "Sorority Wars" was a misfire due to the misplaced ethical values of two generations of shallow women who lacked a moral compass in their lives.
