Soon, they discovered however that there is an ADF Fraternity, founded in 1832 at Hamilton College. (ADF also uses the name "Adelphian," and its Dartmouth Chapter was the inspiration for "Animal House.")
EVERYONE says they're the inspiration for Animal House

You're loaded with info though. Interesting stuff.
