KILLER PARTY

“By the end of the dance, some of the sorority sisters were dead on their feet.”

It's April Fool's Day and the sisters of Sigma Alpha Pi believe they've found the perfect place to throw a party: the abandoned fraternity house where the guillotined pledge once lost his head in a hazing gone awry.
