One of my chapter sorors and her twin sister were in the bathing suit party scene--doing the butt--lol. They were Sigma Chapter Deltas--Clark College.

Can you believe it's been twenty years since the release of School Daze?!

Anyhoo, I posted some of my favorite scenes and thoughts about the flick on my blog.

Watching the Alphas step still gives me chills (its sooooo ice cold!)

I took my daughter to see it--she was a junior in high school. It convinced her that she wanted to go to a HBCU. Since she was born and raised in Minnesota, I wanted to shout from the mountain tops. She went to Howard. YAY!!!!

Tip: to those who have the updated DVD, you must watch the movie with the cast commentary turned on (Tisha Campbell, Rusty Cundieff, Darryl Bell, Kadeem Hardison, and Bill Nunn). It was HILARIOUS and a lot of fun to listen to.

How updated is updated? I'm almost sure I don't have that version, but I'll check.

And I think somebody mentioned here on GC too that Cassie Davis (House of Payne) was in it as one of the girls yelling at Dap from the dorm window.

I'm going to check out SD. I haven't watched it in so long. The nostalgia for those hair dos, the clothes...LMAO! I'll have to FF when PH performs at the HC concert. :eek: :( :spooked:

I think I was a Sophomore in HS, if it came out the Spring of 88.

School Daze was my joint... I was just about to pledge Iota when I seen School Daze. I was like, is this what is in store for me.... NOPE.... much worse.

For the longest, I thought Mission College was Morgan State; right down to the brother named Dap that my roommate. I guess that makes me Kadeem Hardison, being that I was from NYC.

I must have seen that movie twenty times when it came out! Just loved it. I was in high school.

I was aware of the D9, but never gave them much thought. I knew that I would be going to college and a HBCU at that.

After School Daze, I went black Greek crazy. Started researching all the fraternities and sororities histories. It lead me to the light! That Alpha Light!!!

SD may have had a profound affect on us in the Black community that the majority community will never understand. I would love to see some stats on who attended HBCUs, or any form of higher education past high school, because of it. I don't mean to give it more credit than it is due, I just know the affect it had on my household.

WAKE UP!
