Jordan's boyfriend, Justin, thinks that Jordan has too many things going on in her life that are more important than their relationship. They both agree that they should break up. Jordan goes to Justin's house to return some of his things, and he gives her a card he claims he had written before they broke up. The girls refuse to let Jordan read the card, in fear that it will make her feel bad, and Jordan agrees. Amanda rips up the card because she thinks that it would be better for her. Amanda reveals that her big sis is Pauli. Dede's big sis is Jesse, Mara's big sis is Mara, Jessica has Katie, Candace has Stacey, and Jord

Jessica walks in while Jordan and Candace are talking about her and how they can't tell where she stands on anything. Amanda, Mara, Jordan, and Jordan's boyfriend Justin go to dinner. Justin gets a phone call, and he lies to Jordan about who called him. Jordan gets rip-roaring mad and decides she doesn't want to deal with Justin's games anymore. Meanwhile, school is getting in the way of Candace's partying, and she can't seem to get her schoolwork done.

Welcome to UC Davis and rush week for Sigma. The sisters of Sigma hope to get a good, solid group of pledges through rush week because 10 sisters are graduating. As the first evening begins, the sisters are immediately thrown off by the ""type"" of girls that appear to be interested in the sorority.
