Greek is an American comedy-drama television series which follows the students of fictional Cyprus-Rhodes University (CRU) who participate in the school's Greek system. It was created by Patrick Sean Smith and premiered on ABC Family network on July 9, 2007.
Series overview
After the first 10 episodes of Greek aired, production was halted because of the Writers Guild Strike. Prior to the airing of the remainder of season 1, a compilation of the first 10 episodes titled Season One: Chapter One was released. Following suit, the latter half of season 1 was later compiled as Season 1: Chapter Two. Later seasons would be divided into two halves, or simply "chapters."[1][2]
The first chapter of Greek opens as incoming freshman, Rusty Cartwright (Jacob Zachar) matriculates at Cyprus-Rhodes University (CRU). Rusty is the science-geek brother to social butterfly of CRU's Greek system, Casey Cartwright (Spencer Grammer). When Rusty decides to rush a fraternity, their social lives collide. Rusty discovers Casey's boyfriend, Evan (Jake McDorman), cheating on Casey with Rebecca Logan (Dilshad Vadsaria), an incoming, freshman pledge. Casey gets even with Evan by sleeping with her ex-boyfriend, Cappie (Scott Michael Foster), the president of the party fraternity, Kappa Tau, which Rusty joins. Throughout the season, Casey works to repair her relationship with Evan, and deal with Rebecca's acrimonious attempt to undermine her leadership at ZBZ. Rusty navigates the balance between being a fraternity brother and honors engineering student, with the help of Casey, Cappie, his roommate Dale (Clark Duke), friend Calvin (Paul James), and his first girlfriend, Jen K. (Jessica Rose). Ashleigh (Amber Stevens) befriends Calvin, and unwittingly outs him to Omega Chi. When Jen K. writes a story for the school paper exposing Greek secrets, Casey finds herself established as ZBZ's interim president. Rusty breaks-up with Jen K., and Evan breaks-up with Casey due to her ambiguous feelings for Cappie.
Chapter two opens the first week of the new semester. The Greeks find themselves under the auspices of new rules and regulations, and Casey finds herself under the watchful eye of Nationals representative, Lizzie (Senta Moses), who brings a higher level of tradition and conservatism to the sisterhood. Cappie and Rebecca begin dating, Evan and Casey learn how to be friends until Evan's jealousy gets in the way, Casey forgives Frannie and lets her back into ZBZ, Rusty mourns the loss of his first relationship, and the rivalry between fraternities splinters his friendship with Calvin. Cappie, Casey, Evan, and Frannie's histories are explored in a flashback episode. Greek traditions are explored throughout chapter two, such as the Mr. Purr-fect competition, the All Greek Ball, and Parents Weekend. All this activity leads up to Spring Break when Rebecca's father's scandalous proclivities hit home, forcing a drunken confrontation with Cappie, an unplanned kiss on the beach between him and Casey, and a reconciliation between Rusty and Calvin.
Two siblings, Casey and Rusty Cartwright, attend Cyprus-Rhodes University. Rusty is a freshman science geek, who decides to rush a fraternity, invading his popular sister’s social life, giving them an opportunity to build a relationship with one another.

The Greeks experience some life-altering changes. Casey finally discovers that she does not have the heart to fight for a cause that she does not believe in and decides to leave law school. Cappie tries to save the KT house and names Rusty as interim president. Rusty finds the task of saving the house too much to bear and relinquishes his title. Soon after, Cappie, Rusty, and the KT gang decide to have one last party before their house is destroyed by former KT alumn Lasker Parkes. Calvin tries to figure out his life's purpose and decides to take a semester off to travel to India (Heath decides to go with him).

Ashleigh moves out of Rusty's apartment and after talking to Casey, she decides that she wants to date Rusty. Rusty proves to be a great leader when he tries to get Lasker to change his mind about demolishing the KT house, and even though he fails, he earns the respect of his KT brothers (especially Cappie). Rusty becomes the new president of KT and vows to find a new home for the KTs. Ashleigh finally approaches Rusty and tells him that she wants to date him; they kiss.
