Sydney WhiteSydney White is heading off to South Atlantic University, and after having been raised by her construction worker father, she has high hopes to make it into the Kappa house as a pledge, in order to carry on her mother’s legacy. Her mother was one of the Kappa legends.

At SAU, Sydney meets up with the handsome Tyler Prince, who happens to be the love interest of Rachel Witchburn, the head of the Kappa house. Tyler ends up falling for Sydney, which only causes more trouble for her. After failing the initiation tests to become a Kappa sister, Sydney has nowhere left to go and ends up staying at the Vortex, the left behind building on Greek Row, and feels as though she’s not only let down her dad, but also her mother. In the Vortex is where seven of the school’s “dorks,” each with his own geeky personality lives. And so Sydney comes to recognize the ways of the “dorks” and what they have to deal with. As school elections approach, Sydney decides the only way for the Vortex to get the help it deserves is to not let Rachel win. She convinces one of the “dorks” to run for president and so Terry gives Rachel a run for her money.

Rachel and Sydney battle head to head and Rachel does whatever it takes to stop the “Freedom to the Seventh Power” (Terry’s campaign group) from winning the election. And since Sydney has climbed her way up the hot list for the school on myspace, and is threatening Rachel’s position of number one, Rachel is even more determined to not let Sydney win.

Based on the story of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, this movie has been also called Sydney White and the Seven Dorks. Each of the characters suit their roles and all of the “dorks” really stand out. There are a lot of comical situations, and Amanda Bynes’ personality is truly suited for them. It’s a great chick flick movie that has a feel good feeling. Sydney is bound to let the “dorks” come out of their shells and realize their full potential.
