  • shailene woodley asVICTORIAThis twenty-year-old has a heart that beats to a different drum one from 1913, perhaps. She is our supernatural center. Through her gift, aided by seizures and dreams, she communicates intensely with the house ghosts, mainly young women who were mightily wronged in the past. Though shunned as an outcast by the more superficial in girls, she can surprise with her keen sense of justice and loyalty to those who deserve it. Her family has known members of Amandas family for generations and it hasnt been a happy history. With dazzling ghostly tricks up her billowing sleeves, this longhaired off-beat beauty wields the true power at Delta Du.

  • emma stone asROXANNE

    A likeable, often bubble headed freshmen, who is not the typical upscale, cookie cutter Delta Du pledge. She says what she thinks with no filter, and though often funny and raw, she can be immature and get her and her BFF into big time trouble. Blonde, sexy, she is a bad boy magnet, but is loved truly by sweet himbo Donny, who she she is so sure of, she takes for granted. Roxanne must get in and stick with the sorority to collect cash from her Delta Du loving, Gamma, her Grandmother, so that she can finance her dream of being an actor in New York. For her, Delta Du is a dreaded ordeal she must endure in order to secure a ticket to her future.

    CHRISTINAA Crisis Management Major, she first met Roxanne when she moved to town as they were both entering middle school. Despite their obvious differences - Christina is as down to earth, sensible and grounded as Roxanne is a peacock in the spotlight - they bonded in the days when girls lives turn dark on a single snarky text, and she and Roxanne survived all that and came out stronger despite good natured bickering about most everything. Naturally attractive, she is a brunette who fancies a unique, asymmetrical hair cut and maybe a swatch of color. She has style and substance, which is good because if you are Roxannes best friend, cool heads will be required because there will be crisis aplenty.

    DONNYDonny is the sweet, six-pack chiseled, uber hunk who loves Roxanne, no matter what kind of dumb thing she gets into. Donnys in AC repair school, because frankly, with global warming and all, installing and maintaining good air-conditioning is going to be increasingly important and besides he needs medical and benefits on his mission to save the planet. And, this tousled hair hottie is good with his hands, and always has a knack for using the right tool for the job, not to mention a fairly impressive tool of his own

  • emma roberts as AMANDA

    Amanda is the icy blonde princess who rules Delta Du Sorority. She is a control addict, perfectly manicured with every hair in place and expecting everyone else to bow to her wishes. Blaming unkind fortune for her familys fall from the upper reaches of local society, she holds on, clings, and resents anyone who has something she doesnt. As such, she lacks the family connections of Victoria, and is furious that someone, in particular Victoria, who she deems uncool and unworthy can be forced on her and her sacred sorority just because their family donated the building. Siting arbitrary rules and relishing the role of beautiful tyrant, she delights in making life miserable for others, while expecting total obeisance from her chirpy, fashion challenged second in command, Suzy.

    SUZY

    Suzy is a classic wannabe. She played in band for years before it was revealed that she was just faking it - her braces preventing her from playing the flute at all. She just wanted to ride the band bus and flirt with a tuba player. A stringy blonde, shes thin, with odd, and possibly imagined, food allergies and a large mouth appliance, she removes periodically. Rich and slithery smart, she is Amandas pet and slave. On one hand, she quite likely hates Amanda, but stronger, is her awe of Amandas beauty and confidence and her total ease with her sense of entitlement. She would love to be Amanda, even for a day, and would probably have some kindness to small animals and the elderly, but petty power over her peers is just too appealing for this life time, last picked for the volleyball team kind of girl, who seriously overcompensates to fit in.

    ORLANDO

    Victorias handsome, though mentally fragile, cousin. Off his meds, and on the outs with his rigid and unforgiving family, he has been secretly wandering the property, home to many a child hood game of hide and seek and illicit sleep overs. He is harmless to others, but, left out on his own too long, possibly a danger to himself. Dark unruly hair surrounds his face like a halo, and he lives on discards from the kitchen and wild strawberries that grow on the perimeter of the property, until, in his compromised mental state, he is kidnapped at the hands of Amanda and Suzy.

    MS. GLADWELL

    The clown obsessed House Mother of Delta Du. Once a writer and reporter for the local newspaper crime beat, she lost her job when her husband died in a mysterious manner. Then the drinking began. Now shes just on coffee and beat juice, unless she goes on her annual bender. Though she has an unapologetic fondness for all things Ringling Brothers, this foul mouthed sour puss is the antithesis of the warm, caring, motherly matron, and all about her cigarettes, scandal sheets, a frightening collection of clown figurines, and getting her so called, Beauty Sleep, damn it!
