Synopsis
Rusty Cartwright (Jacob Zachar) is a freshman in college, attending Cyprus-Rhodes University alongside his big sister, Casey (Spencer Grammer). Until Rusty arrived, no one at Cyprus-Rhodes knew that Casey had a brother, and Casey insisted that he remain low-profile in hopes that he would not ruin her chance to be elected president of the Zeta Beta Zeta sorority. In an effort to be friendly to her family, Casey's boyfriend, Evan (Jake McDorman), offers Rusty a spot in the Omega Chi Delta fraternity, which he declines after finding Evan cheating on Casey with Rebecca Logan (Dilshad Vadsaria), a senator's daughter who was the sorority's main target during rush. In turn, Rusty accepts an offer from Cappie (Scott Foster), Casey's ex-boyfriend and the current president of Kappa Tau Gamma, the black sheep of the Greek system. Rusty had a short-lived relationship with ZBZ pledge Jen K (Jessica Rose), who turns out to be an undercover campus newspaper reporter fishing for information to write an expose focused on the CRU Greek System. With this, the current ZBZ president, Frannie (Tiffany Dupont), is forced to step down, and Casey is appointed by ZBZ Nat'l as the interim president. In an effort to protect the ZBZ reputation, ZBZ Nat'l sends Lizzie (Senta Moses) to mother the ZBZ house.

Name of the show

ABC advertises the name of the show with the Greek letter "Sigma" to spell the title GRΣΣK (since Sigma resembles an E in the Latin alphabet) instead of Epsilon, which is much the same in appearance and function as E. Taken literally, the name of the show is actually GRSSK, since Sigma is the Greek letter equivalent of the Latin S. The name of the show would have to be spelled either GREEK or ΓΡEEK to be correct in English or Greek, respectively. This practice is comparable to that of faux Cyrillic.
Featured musical groups
- In the Season 1 episodes, "The Rusty Nail" and "Friday Night Frights", the band Plain White T's was featured as musical entertainment for two individual parties hosted by Kappa Tau Gamma. The first time, the group played "Our Time Now" and their famous "Hey There Delilah". The second time, the group played their lesser known songs of "Friends Don't Let Friends Dial Drunk" and "Making a Memory".
- In the Season 1 episode, "Multiple Choice", the band the Dollyrots was featured as musical entertainment at a party hosted by Omega Chi Delta. They played their hit "Because I'm Awesome".
