Damsels in Distress

Three female students at a preppy college attempt to help their less-fortunate students, primarily by running a Suicide Prevention Centre, and offering their off-beat advice whenever they get a chance. They also believe it is their duty to date men lower down on the social ladder, and so raise them up a notch or two. In between all of this, they also find time to teach the dullards how to study, get their hearts broken, and attempt to start an international dance craze.
