Perhaps the movie most loved by sorority girls everywhere is none other than "Mean Girls." Yes, "Mean Girls," the movie that inspired countless basic group Halloween costumes, and tons of hilarious memes. Perhaps you were like me and Aaron Samuels was your first crush, or you followed the stupid “on Wednesdays we wear pink” rule as a way to exclude that b*tch Sydney from sitting at your lunch table back in middle school. No matter what you did, "Mean Girls" affected us all in some way. But what if the Plastics graduated from high school and went off to college? Where would they have ended up?
Regina George
The second she goes through recruitment she is instantly initiated into the highest tier sorority. Come her senior year she is the president of this sorority and she fully believes in the “legacy be damned” policy. She has no problem with dirty rushing, and if the legacy is not cool enough, she is not getting in! Regina knows that it only takes one loser to bring down the sorority's status, and she worked too hard making it perfect.
Gretchen Wieners
Gretchen is in the same sorority as Regina and had she been put in a mid-tier sorority, she may have had the opportunity to really shine. But just like in high school, Gretchen is soon serving under Regina, yet she doesn’t even have an e-board position! To balance her anger at this injustice, she soon began to spread rumors and gossip about the girls who lived in the sorority house. She majored in journalism and grew up to write a book that ended up on the New Yorks Best Sellers List, “My Hair IS Full of Secrets: Confessions of a Sorority Girl.”
Karen Smith
Whereas Karen was hot enough to get into the same sorority as Regina and Gretchen, she sadly did not have the GPA to qualify. Karen did not have the GPA to qualify for any sorority, actually. As a GDI she decided to major in fashion and merchandising. Karen ended up graduating college with a 4.0 GPA. Yes, she took History of Polka Dots as one of her classes but she passed it, damn it!
Cady Herron
Cady went to the same college as the Plastics and even went through sorority recruitment. On the last day before Bid Day however, she committed what most Greeks would call social suicide. She decided to drop out of rush. Cady decided to be a GDI for a while and find her place in college, but come her sophomore year she actually decided to rush a mathematics honors fraternity, Tri Pi. Even though Regina called her a math freak, Cady was still invited to the best frat parties and was even voted fraternity sweetheart, much to Regina’s rage.
Janice Ian
Janice wanted to go to an arts school in New York, but because her parents were footing the bill she was forced to go to the same school as the Plastics. Janice never participated in sorority recruitment and embraced the “proud GDI” status. She did start her own art club on campus and did eventually end up in New York. Janice is now the curator for the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and is currently on her third marriage.
All in all, the Plastics were pretty successful out of high school. They still wore pink and they still wrote in the burn book but hey, what do you expect? Some things never change.
