What’s in it?

Products & advertising1/5
Why this rating?

Standard depiction of college life and brand-name clothing styles consistent with the genre.

Strong language1/5

Occasional mild insults, teasing, or social barbs fit the rivalry premise; strong profanity is not expected.

Romantic and crush-related elements accompany the college story, but romance is secondary to the sorority conflict.

Expect mild college-age innuendo or suggestive references, without explicit sexual activity or sexualized nudity.

Alcohol or drugs1/5

College social settings may include limited drinking references or background use, but substances are not a story focus.
