Episode Recap: "War and Peace"
Since Calvin went back to Omega Chi, things were slightly awkward between him and Rusty. So if not joining Rusty’s frat put a slight strain on the friendship, imagine what an all out prank war between Omega Chi and Kappa Tau would do. From stealing and “retouching” the Omega Chi frat photo to a water gun fight (keep in mind these guns were loaded with fish oil and hot sauce) in KT house, these boys were not messing around. Cappie took things most seriously, taking on the role of a general complete with a ridiculous Southern accent.
Super perky Lizzi decides to reward the girls for good behavior with a mixer (yay) with Psi Phi Pi, one of the nerdiest frats on campus (boo). Ashleigh meets with Jason, Psi Phi's social chair to do some damage control, but instead of canceling the mixer Ashleigh ends up falling for him (huh?).
The ZBZs are sick of super perky Lizzi, so Casey asks when their chapter can operate on their own and what it will take to get super perky Lizzi to leave (apparently more than a chart). Super perky Lizzi says there is just one thing left for the girls to do: reinstate Frannie. After all, forgiveness is the ultimate act of sisterhood. Casey, however, isn’t feeling the love and doesn’t like the idea of welcoming Frannie back "I want Jessica Simpson to stop putting out CDs but you can't always get what you want," she so wisely reminds us. Frannie's apologetic act may convince super perky Lizzi, but Casey isn't buying it. Casey reminds Frannie that she abandoned the chapter and was a horrible friend (oh yeah, Fran people don’t tend to forget when you sabotage their chance at glory—or in the case the title of Sweetheart—and also cause a break-up, but nice try). Despite what a witch Frannie was, the sisters are willing to deal with it if it means saying goodbye to super perky Lizzi.
Fed up with pranks Rusty waltzes straight into the Omega Chi house and proposes a peace treaty. Omega Chi isn’t so willing to give peace a chance and duct tape Rusty to the side of a building (a simple “No, thank you” would have sufficed). Rusty is mad at the Omega Chi's but more hurt that Calvin let it happen and didn't seem to feel to sorry about it the next day. Rather than sit around and cry (which I totally thought he would), Rusty channels his anger into coming up with the ultimate revenge prank: turning the Omega Chi house into an animal house. No not like the fun and hilarious movie, I mean putting barnyard animals all over the Omega Chi house. Great prank, but my question is how did the KTs get the animals in the first place? And how did they get the animals inside without making any noise? It’s probably better not to know.
While having coffee with Ashleigh and her new man, Casey figures out why her best friend is so attracted to Jason: he's essentially “Travis in a dork suit.” He's rude, arrogant, disrespectful, and upon realizing this Ashleigh has had enough. She marches into the boys bathroom in a huff, tells Jason off, gets the mixer cancelled and manages to insult his manhood (or lack thereof)—nothing like multitasking!
Casey struggles with her personal feelings towards Frannie and what the chapter wants. Before she rejects Frannie, super perky Lizzi suggests Casey re-read the ZBZ handbook. Frannie is reinstated in one of the dullest ceremonies I’ve ever seen and just as she arrives with all of her luggage the next day, Casey reminds Frannie of rule 57Q in the handbook which states that the president can put any recently reinstated member on probation and that members on probation can't live in the house. Looks like Frannie will have to prove she genuinely wants to be a sister again.
After all the pranks and shenanigans Rusty wonders if he and Calvin can remain friends. Cappie compares the friendship to Cromagnum man and tells Rusty things will work out if he and Calvin are willing to put in the effort to adapt and evolve as friends.
The episode ends on a happy note: super perky Lizzi is gone and ZBZ couldn’t be happier.
Who loved the pranks? Who was disappointed with the lack of Rebecca and/or Dale? And what about Rusty and Calvin, will they stay friends?

pretty good episode...as to missing dale and/or rebecca? Dale yes- he's straight up hilarious! Rebecca- hell no! She's not a character you love to hate, you just plain hate her. She and Frannie can go to Oklahoma with Lizzie, and the show would be just as good, if not better.

Well, Frannie's back! I'm sure there will be lots of drama, lying, back-stabbing, and cattiness to come. I'm totally on Team Casey!
I hope Rusty and Calvin can be friends despite being in different houses. There will always be conflict, but they can still like each other. It's taking up for their brothers that will put a strain on their friendship.
More Dale, please!

I hope Rusty and Cal can get back in the swing of their friendship because they need each other. They're good at balancing each other out.
I was actually okay without Rebecca and Dale. I liked the focus on the frats this time.
Rusty's prank was CLASSIC!

I didn't realize someone was updating this. Awesome. I love this show, but not as much as the first half.
I feel bad for rusty and calvin. I'm guessing since they are 2 main characters, they won't stay mad at each other for long.
I missed dale too, but not rebecca. I don't think I'll ever be able to like her.
Have you seen Clark Duke's (dale) website with Michael Cera? His character on greek is so unlike him.
