In modern times, Kappa Kappa Tau is ruled by a cruel queen and a cruel queen and the cruel president of Chanel Oberlin (Emma Roberts) and his minions, whom he does not care enough to learn their names and just call them by his own name; Chanel # 2 (Ariana Grande), Chanel # 3 (Billie Lourd), and Chanel # 5 (Abigail Breslin), are the most popular and cruel girls on campus and current residents and Kappa Kappa Tau. In the past, there was Chanel # 4, but he died of meningitis. Dean Cathy Munsch (Jamie Lee Curtis) hates student associations, especially Kappa, and will not let Kappa have the same system he currently executes. He hates Chanel because he sees it as an example of what's wrong with girls these days. In his office, Munsch told Chanel that he thought he was the one who injured Kappa's previous president, Melanie Dorkus (Brianne Howey), to get his position, but Chanel denied it. Munsch said that he will bring Kappa down this year, starting with the plucking of their charter. At that time, Gigi Caldwell (Nasim Pedrad), president of the national chapter Kappa Kappa Tau and lawyers, came in and said that Munsch was not allowed to lift their charter. Chanel then threatened Cathy and got out. The dean then tells Gigi that Kappa will not be easy this year and Gigi told Cathy she has a suggestion. At the same time, Grace Gardner (Skyler Samuels) arrived at Wallace and bid farewell to her father, Wes Gardner (Oliver Hudson). She befriends her roommate, Zayday Williams (Keke Palmer) and they plan to promise Kappa Kappa Tau, though Zayday hesitates.
At the "Rush Kappa" party, Cathy makes an announcement that Kappa will be asked to accept anyone who wants to be an appointment. Surprised by the news, everyone left but a few. Chanel is amazing to see the new promise that is left. The only ones staying are Grace and Zayday, along with; Hester Ulrich "Neckbrace" (Lea Michele), Tiffany DeSalle "Deaf Taylor Swift" (Whitney Meyer), and Sam "Predatory Lez" (Jeanna Han). Dean Munsch then introduces Chanels to Jennifer (Breezy Eslin), another promise that Chanel is afraid of with his vlogging candle hobby. Instead of cheering him up, his girlfriend, Chad Radwell (Glen Powell) and his best friend Boone (Nick Jonas) told him by saying that he can not date her if he is no longer popular. Meanwhile, Chanel is plotting a joke to frighten an appointment involving Kappa Tau's helpers whom he treated badly, Ms. Bean (Jan Hoag). He discusses joke plans with Ms. Bean in a coffee shop where he fought fiercely with a barista, Pete MartÃÆ'nez (Diego Boneta) at the request of the Chanel complex for Pumpkin Spice Latte. After that, Grace enters the coffee shop and meets Pete, who after learning that Grace wants to promise Kappa Kappa Tau, warns her not to join Kappa Kappa Tau because 'everyone knows that bad things happen in that house', but she is distracted by Chanel, who revealed that Pete was his stalker since Chanel gave him false hopes for his own entertainment. Grace reassures Pete that she'll be all right.
Chanel and his minions started a joke to dip Ms.'s face. Bean to frying pan. The joke was wrong when the frying pan burned, burning Ms.'s face. Bean and kill him. After a confrontation between Grace and Chanel, they all hide the body in the house meat freezer. Then, Pete tells Grace, she sees what they do, which Grace replies that she wants to help her with his newspaper article unraveling Kappa Kappa Tau's secret. When they go to the freezer to see the body, Chanel and Chad arrive, forcing them to hide. Mysteriously, the body disappears, much to Chanel's fear. The Chanels then has a blood vow to keep the secrets of the incident, but Chanel # 2 resigns stating that he can not stay still and fears that if someone finds out, he can not become a network broadcaster. He decided to pack his things and go home. When packing, a person in a Red Devils costume appears in his room and dances with him until he is stabbed on the shoulder. Chanel # 2 briefly surprised Red Devil and went to his computer to post a tweet. The killer gets up and then kills # 2, just as he sends a tweet. The Chanels found his body that night and decided to keep it in the room until they knew what to do. "Hell Week" will begin for an appointment, but Grace and Chanel go for a cup of coffee to discuss their leadership differences, which are not resolved. Meanwhile, the remaining promises were forced by Chanels to spend the night buried from the neck to the toe. The Red Devil appeared riding a lawn mower and cut off Tiffany's head, leaving the other girls screaming.
