What Season 1 of Scream Queens

The season begins on 1995, when the Kappa Kappa Tau fraternity witnesses the death of a girl who gives birth in their house. That unsolved mystery returns twenty years later, when The Red Devil, the mascot of Wallace University, reappears, along with the costume the killer wears. President Chanel Oberlin leads the house alongside her fellow Chanels, while Dean Cathy Munsch watches them with suspicion. Munsch forces the sorority to accept any student who wants to join, and that is how Grace, Hester and Zayday arrive. Grace rushes in because her mother was a member, and soon parties and rivalries are filled with unease.
