When her father is publicly disgraced, Rebecca begins an out of control downward spiral and reveals a much hidden vulnerable and lonely personality. When she was on the brink of expulsion due to her wild antics, it was Casey who came to her aid which instills a newfound respect between the two. Rebecca begins to actively contribute to the sorority in an attempt to prove herself and find her own identity. She uses her political savvy to have Ashleigh elected president and was a mole for ZBZ.

Though she lack Frannie’s drive or Casey’s wit, Ashleigh strives to break away from the old traditions of ZBZ. In the process, she becomes more assertive to the surprise of many. With Casey’s encouragement, Ashleigh leads ZBZ to reclaim their position as the top sorority on campus. Even though Ashleigh has been successful with the presidential seat, she has had difficulty in the dating world. A recurring theme for Ashleigh is her poor choices in men. Though she tried to keep positive, her last relationship has made her more doubtful. Despite that, Ashleigh is looking forward to graduation as she accepted an internship as a trend forecaster in New York. In the second episode of season 4, Ashleigh returns to CRU, due to her not being able to cope with her internship and quiting, and moves back into the ZBZ house with Casey.

Calvin Owens Paul James Year: Junior Major: Accounting Position(s) Held: Omega Chi President (former)
Calvin is an athletic legacy who is also one of Rusty’s closest friends. Calvin’s ability to adapt to most situations led Rusty to shadow him during rush. However, this was a defense mechanism to hide the fact that Calvin is gay but desires to be accepted by those around him. Through his relationships, Calvin begins to feel more comfortable with his sexuality especially after it becomes public knowledge. He identifies with Rusty as they both feel like outsiders. Though it has been difficult at times, Calvin and Rusty maintain their friendship even when their respective houses are at war. This often causes conflict with his big brother Evan with whom Calvin shares a mutual respect as it was Evan who defended Calvin’s sexuality to Omega Chi. He in turn keeps Evan’s ego in check especially when it comes to Rusty. Calvin becomes the key in Rusty’s revenge plan—namely, to make Calvin the president of Omega Chi. His term as president is short-lived, as when the Omega Chis learn about his involvement in Kappa Tau's beach week prank, they lose their trust in him.

He tried to self-righteously steer Rusty away from Kappa Tau but usually found himself mixed up in Rusty’s predicaments. Through Rusty, Dale begins to interact with different Greeks. He quickly befriends Calvin despite his borderline homophobic beliefs. He forms a close bond to the rowdy Cappie based somewhat in their mutual feelings for Casey. Dale even takes a job as Zeta Beta’s hasher, in the process becoming a den mother of sorts to the sisters. His conservative views begin to change and Dale starts to come out of his shell even losing his virginity. Though he is true to his faith, Dale becomes inspired by Rusty that there is more to college than just studies. In the 4th season, he becomes an Omega Chi pledge.
Frannie Morgan Tiffany Dupont Year: Alumna Major: Pre-Med Position(s) Held: ZBZ & IKI President (former), Pledge Educator (former)
A driven former sister, Frannie strives to be the best in everything and rose to become the president of the most popular house on campus. Her biggest admirer was her little sister Casey even though Frannie put her goals ahead of their friendship. Her obsession of keeping ZBZ’s # 1 spot led to her eventual downfall as Frannie was stripped of her title due to deceit surrounding Jen‘s article. Though she was resentful at first, she supported Casey as the new president. However, it did not stop her from trying to regain power. Her many machinations involving Casey, Ashleigh and Rebecca proved unsuccessful, so Frannie conspires with Evan to start a new sorority Iota Kappa Iota.
