[1] It first aired on ABC on February 6, 1978, and starred Kay Lenz as a shy, withdrawn young woman who discovers that she has psychic powers after joining a sorority.

[2] The film was later re-made in 2006 for ABC Family and Fairchild returned to portray the mother of the titular Sarah and her sister, who was renamed Lindsay.

[3][4] The film opens with Sarah (Kay Lenz), a painfully shy young woman, and her beautiful sister Patty (Morgan Brittany) playing on the beach at sunset.

Because the ΑΝΣ girls do not view Sarah as a potential candidate, she is directed to the refreshment table and abandoned before being told to visit the nearby Phi Epsilon Delta (ΦΕΔ) house.

The sisters both go to ΦΕΔ, where they are met with a general lack of enthusiasm from almost all the girls other than Mouse (Tisa Farrow), an awkward and shy young woman who is instantly drawn to Sarah.

As the semester progresses, Sarah begins to strike up a relationship of sorts with Paul (Tony Bill), a teaching assistant for her psychology classes, and becomes somewhat closer to Mouse.

At Mrs. Hunter's prompting, Sarah uses her powers to disrupt the ceremony, causing the wind to violently blow through the ΑΝΣ's courtyard and warp Jennifer's face into a horrific visage.

Morgan Fairchild said when she signed for the film, it was agreed that she would do the shower scene wearing a body stocking, but on the day of the shot, it was suggested that she do it nude.
