 Synopsis

 

College life can be complicated—challenging, rewarding, downright frustrating—and a lot of fun. Warren University freshman Cassandra “Cassie” Davis is more than up for all of it. Which leaves Cassie facing the dreaded F-word…

Fraternity—specifically Delta Tau Chi, a frat house on the verge of being banned from the school. Accused of offensive, sexist behavior, they have one year to clean up their act. 

With one shot at a scholarship to the school of her dreams, Cassie pitches an unusual research project—to pledge Delta Tau Chi, take on the boys’ club and provide proof of their misogynistic behavior. It’s different, but it’s not against the rules, and she’s pretty sure she knows exactly what to expect once she gets there. Which means the DTC brothers will have to face the dreaded F-word… 

Feminist—the type of girl who thinks they’re nothing but tank-top-wearing “bros” and is determined to see them booted from the school. 

But Cassie soon realizes things aren’t as simple as they appeared. Some of the DTC brothers, including her fellow pledge, Jordan Louis, are much more than she ever expected to find in a frat house. With her academic future on the line, and her heart all tangled in a web of her own making, Cassie will ultimately have to define for herself what these F-words are all about.

Is there an app for this?

Three college freshman are thrown together in a class for future entrepreneurs. They create a dating app: just like always, you swipe right or left. But this app keeps track of how people swipe on you to calculate an overall rating: platinum, gold, silver or, God forbid, un-ranked. The launch of the app creates investor interest and bright career possibilities for Sara, Robbie and Braden. But it also causes chaos on the Warren University campus.

 
Fans of The Social Network will devour this in a single day.

Synopsis

When a notoriously difficult class for future entrepreneurs leads to three freshmen developing the next “it” app for dating on college campuses, all hell breaks loose…

Type A control freak Sara lives by her color-coordinated Post-it notes. Rich boy Braden wants out from under his billionaire father’s thumb. Scholarship student Roberto can’t afford for his grades to drop. 

When the three are forced to work together in one of the university’s most difficult classes, tension rises to the breaking point…until the dating app they create proves to be the most viable project in class.

Their dating app, like others, asks you to swipe right or left on potential matches. But this app keeps score. It knows how other people swipe on your profile and is sure to let you know where you rank…for just 99 cents each time you check. Do you have platinum status? Gold? Silver? Or are you so unlucky-in-love that you’re unranked? 

Just as the morally questionable app wreaks havoc on the lives of their fellow students, investors offer the three founders the opportunity of a lifetime to keep it going. 

 Late nights of app development, interest from investors and unexpected romance are woven into a true-to-life college drama that explores what it means to really connect online and IRL.
