description: Women without men.
  Men without brains....
  
  IN THE WAR BETWEEN THE SEXES,
  THEY WERE IN THE FRONT LINES....
  
  Alamo House stood out among the Greek-columned mansions of Austin's frat row like a bald spot on a mink.  Besieged by the raunchy frat rats across the street, its residents were the looniest, most lovable bunch of women ever to grace a campus:
  
  MARY JO STEADMAN --
  A bewildered refugee from romantic disaster, she was determined to try again -- and again -- until she got it right....
  
  FAYRENE PIRTLE --
  Inside the shy 300-pound Baptist from Waco was a smart cookie itching to raise hell....
  
  COLLIE MOHORIC --
  A glamorous and gutsy drama student who specialized in doomed women, her manic energy attracted weirdos like a magnet....
  
  Together they pursued life, liberty and sweet revenge, rousing their sisters to glory against the common enemy:  SIGMA UPSILON KAPPA FRATERNITY, THE DREADED -- AND SOON TO BE DOOMED -- SUKs!
