Sydney White, a girl from a working class family, goes to the same college where her late mother graduated, something that makes her a legacy candidate for the Kappa sorority. Little does Sydney realize what awaits her when she makes an enemy of the powerful president of the student body, and the Kappas, Rachel Witchburn. It becomes apparently that the mean spirited Rachel does not like competition and she will make anything in her power to make life impossible for Sydney.
As Sydney is rejected from joining the Kappas, she finds refuge at the Vortex, the dilapidated fraternity house that seven young geek types call home. Sydney is a good influence for the guys because she transforms their outlook, as well as give them the necessary tools to overcome their natural shyness and lack of social graces.
"Sydney White" is a composite of a film in which elements from other movies on the subject has been explored. Joe Nussbaum's direction of the screenplay by Chad Gomez Creasey does not bring anything new one has not already seen. The idea of going to college to learn seems secondary to most students according to Hollywood. The idea that the dork types are losers, while the failing students are cool, perpetuates a myth that is just not so. In the end, the geeks will be employing most of the cool guys who never learned anything in college at minimum wages.
The peppy Amanda Bynes is seen in the title role of Sydney. Sarah Paxton, is Rachel Witchburn in all her blondness. Matt Long plays Tyler.
