Why watch this? This film was THE FILM for me and all my McMurry College frat brothers. We could not get enough of it.

Plot Summary: At Faber College in 1962, the rowdy Delta Tau Chi fraternity finds themselves on "double secret probation" under the strict Dean Wormer, who is determined to expel them from campus. The Deltas, known for their unruly antics and low academic standing, clash with the snobby Omega Theta Pi fraternity, who collaborate with the Dean to achieve their expulsion. Despite the escalating pressure and mischievous pranks, the Delta brothers remain defiant.

Dad's Preview: Irreverent, absolutely. Tasteless, yep. Gratuitous, oh yea. It is also one of the funniest films ever made. Landis wanted to capture the wanton fraternity life that raged on college campuses during the 1960's, and he used SNL's bright young comic, John Belushi, to accomplish that feat. It is one uproarious scene after another, building to an unforgettable climax that leaves Dean Wormer and Faber College wounded forever.
