two other movies are as follows:

1) is called Fraternity Row- This is an independent filmed in 1976, which discusses greeklife from the 1950s. It is one of best and most accurate films I have seen.
2) The Tall Lie- I am having trouble finding this title but I know it was from the 1950s and features teh professor from Gilligans Island

Can I rent Fraternity Row? I mean is it at a Blockbuster video? I would like to see that.

Fraternity Row is a great movie, saw about 10 years ago. It randomly came on tv one day and i have been looking for a copy of it ever since. If anyone knows where to get it please share.

That TV movie was "Friendships, Secrets and Lies" (1979).

No DVD or VHS listed on Amazon. This is the kind of movie that might turn up as a "One Dollar DVD" some day. It was a good little movie though. I can't remember the last time it was on TV.

How long has Legally Blonde been out - almost 10 years now? Well, my mother excited called, "there's a movie about sororities on channel 36!"

It takes so little to please her...

This is one of my absolute favorite movies. One of the funniest scenes was when Elle told the legal team that she couldn't reveal the client's alibi because it would break the bonds of sisterhood. They all went :rolleyes: but I am sure that all of us greeks understand her situation exactly.

I think Legally Blonde came out in 2001, because she's in the Harvard Law Class of 2004.

I suppose most have seen some of the ads for "Stomp the Yard", which seems to focus on BGLOs and step shows.

As I am not knowledgable about either, I'll leave it to others to comment on how well it does this.

I just saw Going Greek last night. It wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be, but it was nowhere near as amazing as Animal House. Better than the cover description suggested at least. It's up there with PCU as far as greek movies go on my list.

I've seen those and it looks like it's going to be a positve portayal but who knows.....

Now here is a sad thing for a greek movie - National Lampoon's PLEDGE THIS! I just saw it today, and stars Paris Hilton. Sorry to say but I think it was one of the worst movies I've ever seen in my life! But yea...it's another greek movie. I figured I'd throw that out there for the list.
