[edit] Plot
Alice Fisher is the daughter of Lew Fisher, a grocery store owner. She is surprised when he reveals he has college money for her. Alice rolls into a boarding house and becomes friends with room mates Dotty Spencer and Merle Scott. Dotty suggests Alice to join a sorority if she spikes up her looks and earns a few more bucks.
Meanwhile, Alice falls in love with Bill Loomis, who is dating Neva Simpson. He asks Alice out for a date and recommends her for a sorority, stating she is actually rich but pretends not to be. When Alice writes her father a letter she doesn't have the money for a sorority, he sells his store to a chain and receives the money.
Bill and Alice soon fall in love and kiss. This results into conflicts, since Bill is still in a relationship with Neva.[1]
