Synopsis
Two different groups of students at an all-black college find themselves clashing over politics, ideals and girls.
The students are roughly divided between the Wannabee Greeks – a group of goodtime kids who care about things like fraternities, grades and straight hair – and the Jigaloos – politically aware activists who want to draw attention to the world’s ills. Tensions reach fever pitch during homecoming week when it emerges that a Wannabee is the cousin of the Jigaloo leader.
