At an elite West Coast university, freshman Cass Monroe is thrilled to be tapped by the mysterious and prestigious Delta Omega sorority—until late-night rituals, coded whispers, and strange disappearances reveal it’s not just a sisterhood, but a centuries-old cult cloaked in charm and privilege. As Cass is pulled deeper into their inner circle, she begins to question the nature of power, loyalty, and the dark undercurrents of female friendship. Delta Omega is a sharp, haunting exploration of ambition, identity, and the intoxicating, dangerous bonds that form when women are told they must either belong—or be left behind.

The Culture Diet is your source for a well-balanced content meal, including weekly recs for movies, TV, theater, and books across various subjects and sensibilities. Much like how a meal can nourish, delight, and gather, culture nurtures our sense of self and helps us connect through shared experience. Thus, my aim is to share curated meals that encourage connection, stimulate discussion, and help you find that bite of culture you can’t stop thinking about.
