Haunting of Sorority Row, The Page #3

---

sorority girls of anything, right?

Instead, I get questioned

for three months.

Look, if you see the ring on one of

those girls' fingers, you let me know.

It's a silver band, green emeralds,

with two diamonds

on either side of it.

You can't miss it.

Hey... Spencer. From the party?

Oh.

Are you okay?

Yeah. I'm just going home.

Oh. Could I walk with you?

Okay.

Okay.

Everybody's pretty messed up

about Nikki Evans, aren't they?

Yeah, it's awful.

She was nice.

It's so weird that she'd kill herself,

because she was always, like...

on a mission or something,

or something, you know?

Yeah, I didn't know her.

I just feel bad.

They're all really upset.

Hey, do you want to

do something later?

I mean, it must be kind of

depressing being around here.

I don't know, hang out,

or go to a play or something?

A play? Wow.

I thought all you frat boys liked to

go to pool halls and drink beer.

Yeah, we do, but, uh, I actually like

the theater. Just don't tell anybody.

Oh, actually, I prefer pool halls

and drinking beer, so...

- Really?

- Yeah.

Well, maybe we'll make

a compromise then.

So?

So...

Oh, sorry, pledge duties.

Right, right, um...

Let me have your phone.

Please.

Okay.

Call me.

Okay.

See you.

"Detectives interviewed several students

from Delta Phi Theta sorority...

Jena Thorne hasn't returned home

after dropping out of the sorority

during pledge week.

However, Jena's Aunt claims

and has yet to return home.

Former student's boyfriend

held on suspicion..."

Sam, what are you doing?

Line-up's in three seconds!

Oh, crap!

Two, one...

Are we interrupting your day?

No, sorry.

Nikki's funeral is this Saturday.

We will be carpooling,

for those of you who want to go.

She was a great person

and dedicated to this sorority.

Which is why we will continue on

with pledge week.

So, for the next four nights,

each of you will participate

in a ritual that goes back 80 years.

You will not ask questions,

and you will swear an oath

and take it to your grave.

Can I talk to you?

Don't you think this ritual

is a little inappropriate,

considering Nikki's funeral's

on Saturday?

I thought we were going to end it.

End it? It's tradition.

We have a responsibility to

every woman

who's come before us to carry on

the legacy of this sorority.

We're not just going to throw it

all away because of... an accident.

Right... and last year?

Last year didn't happen.

As I was saying... you will be

required to be in your rooms, asleep,

by 10:
30 each night.

That's all you need to know.

I have a question.

What is it?

I was curious about

what happened to Jena Thorne.

She was the pledge who

dropped out last year, right?

Yes. She couldn't handle pledge week.

It's not for everyone.

Thursday, we will be doing

a fundraiser here in the afternoon.

I expect this sorority to once again

raise the most money on campus.

This year's charity is

for breast cancer awareness.

Attendance is required.

Excuse me. I have a test on Friday,

and two papers due...

And you'll get an "A" on all of them,

or you'll be expelled.

I've never gotten As.

We have very high standards, Horten.

Live up to it, or live somewhere else.

Fliers need to be put up

at Columbia Hall, Miller Hall,

and the Student Center.

You're excused.

I got to go.

Where are you going?

Danny's roommate's going out

of town for a few days.

I would kill for her metabolism.

Where the hell is Amanda?

I've called her three times.

You know how she is with Danny.

We won't see her

until his roommate's back.

Fine. Then she will be properly

penalized for her absence.

This night you spend in darkness,

until the light of dawn.

One life, good night, into the bright,

and you shall be reborn.

No, no!

What happened to her?

Nothing.

That's not nothing.

Nothing you need to worry about,

okay, Horten?

Just go in the there

and look after her,

and I'll be back in a little bit.

Okay?

Sam... are you okay?

What happened?

I felt it.

Felt what?

Death.

It doesn't matter now, Sam.

I'm obviously going to find out

what they make us do soon enough.

It's a coffin.

They make us spend

the night in a coffin.

No way. There's no way.

My neighbor was a mortician.

I got shoved into a coffin

when I was a kid.

It already had a body in it.

I can't!

I could see her.

See who?

Jena.

I think it was Jena Thorne.

Has Amanda called?

No.

We have to get rid of it.

Don't be superstitious.

There's something up there, Leslie.

Sam felt it, I felt it.

Please. Look, we all agreed last year

the coffin was going to stay.

If we had gotten rid of it,

some of the other girls

would have gotten suspicious.

Nothing out of the ordinary,

remember?

Except something in this house

is very out of the ordinary.

The four of us swore an oath

we'd take it to our grave.

Right. Like Nikki?

Rachel, where are you?

Hi.

Are you okay?

Look, I'm really sorry

for what happened last night.

I have never seen anybody react

that way before.

Is that true?

What do you mean?

Is that why Jena Thorne dropped out?

Jena?

The pledge last year.

I heard she was claustrophobic.

Everyone's claustrophobic

on some level,

especially in a coffin.

That's the point.

No, not like that.

A real phobia. Clinically diagnosed.

Why are you asking about Jena?

Because what I saw...

I just want to know

what happened. Okay? No secrets.

She had claustrophobia.

We didn't want

the other pledges to know,

but we told her she didn't have to

go through with it, but she insisted.

She didn't want to be

treated any different.

She couldn't handle it.

We went up to let her out,

and she wouldn't even talk to us,

and the next morning,

when we woke up, she was gone.

All that was left was

this note that said

that she couldn't handle school,

she couldn't handle pledging, all of it.

We felt really bad.

We should never have

let her go through with it.

And that's the truth?

Yeah.

And nobody ever thought it was strange

that she never made it home,

she didn't call her boyfriend?

Her boyfriend's a nut.

She told us that

he was obsessed with her.

In her note,

she said that she wanted to travel,

she wanted to get away from here

and away from her Aunt.

Any more questions?

No.

Look, we're dropping the ritual.

Nobody needs to know why, okay?

We have a big day, everybody.

Today's the campus charity drive.

Rachel, would you try

Amanda again, please?

She knows attendance is required.

This is a list of

your individual responsibilities.

Amanda!

Amanda!

Amanda!

Hey, you guys!

Come down here quick! Hurry!

Look-

Nikki...

Is this somebody's idea of a joke?

You think this is funny?

Who did this?

You were the only one down here.

I didn't do anything to it.

It wasn't me.

Wait, come here.

Somebody was in my room.

What are you talking about?

And somebody was on my computer.

Look.

Look at what?

It was there.

I swear to God it was there.

Somebody wrote that I...

Someone was in my room
