    A trio of frat boys, after getting caught peeping at a sorority spanking initiation have to help two pledges (Michelle Bauer and Brinke Stevens) break into a bowling alley and steal something as a further part of the initiation. While there, they run into another burglar (Linnea Quigley). They are being surreptitiously monitored by the older members of the sorority. 

            

     As it turns out, thanks to a convoluted plot device, they release an imp that was trapped in a bowling trophy. The imp at first promises to grant them wishes, but that turns into a scam. He turns the older sorority sisters into his murderous servants and turns Michelle Bauer into a nymphomaniac (see, he’s not all bad). Various shenanigans and deaths ensue as the survivors try to escape the bowling alley.

            

    This film is not really that good (objectively speaking), even for a B movie. Its value lies in its stars and the connections it has to other, much better movies. George Buck Flowers has starred in about half of John Carpenter's films. Hal Havins, who plays one of the frat boys, also starred as Stooge in the excellent Night of the Demons, which also starred Quigley. Dukey Flyswatter, who is the voice of the Imp, starred in Hollywood Chainsaw Hookers, which starred Bauer and Quigley,and also appeared in Nightmare Sisters (which starred Bauer, Quigley and Stevens).  Those two movies were made back to back by the same director. 

        David DeCoteay made Sorority Babes first and then with the left over resources knocked out Nightmare Sisters in a few days. For a long time, those  two films are the only films to star all 3 of the scream queens, Quigley, Bauer, and Stevens, and they're the only films to star all 3 that were made during the height of their careers.

            

    Despite any problems the film has, it does have a  lot of admirers. If you’re a fan of scream queens, you get a pretty lengthy scene of Brinke Stevens naked and Michelle Bauer spends most of the film naked or topless. Of course, in terms of nudity, it can’t hold a candle to Nightmare Sisters. The bathtub scene in that movie is the stuff of legend. So, while not a particularly good movie, it has some value for fans 80's B- movies. I think it should probably be packaged in a 2 movie set with Nightmare Sisters.
