Heartbroken, Taj, with his faithful bulldog Ballzac in tow, instead takes the only housing opening available on campus and becomes the "Head of House" for a group of student misfits - Sadie, a gorgeous but foul-mouthed Cockney girl, Seamus, an English-hating Irishman, Gethin, a nerd, and Simon, a kid who rarely talks. However, when Taj arrives at Camford, he is told by Pip Everett, the Earl of Grey, the arrogant leader of the Fox and Hounds, that there had been a mistake and he has actually not been accepted into the Fraternal Guild. Taj plans to follow in the footsteps of his father - not only by obtaining a degree, but also to become a member of an exclusive campus Fraternal Guild, the Fox and Hounds, where Taj hopes he will become the next generation of Badalandabads to be deservedly nicknamed the "Sultan of Snatch."

When Taj is banished to the campus home for losers, he must find a way to teach the student body the value of drunken shenanigans. Taj sets his sights overseas to earn a PhD and a reputation of his own at the stuffy British Camden University, but the students are far more focused on their studies than on having fun.
