Do any of these show hazing? We ususally show Animal House for our
anti-hazing pledge event and we are looking to change it up. Ideas?
Some one thought Revenge of the Nerds, but that doesn't seem like it
is all hazing and stuff. Anyhow, if anyone has ideas it would be
appreicated


Well, there's always "School Daze" which is out on DVD and is real
blast to watch if you've never been exposed to the culture of NPHC
fraternities, but having said that I've found that most members of
NPHC orgs who post here really do NOT like this movie. Something
about the way Spike Lee likes to air people's dirty laundry.

Speaking for myself though, I was lucky enough to see this when I was
in college with an XO I was dating at the time and we totally tripped
out on it, especially the part where they showed the little sisters
participating in the hazing/hell week.

Another good one that's available is "The Lords of Discipline". Even
though it's about a military academy and not a fraternity its heart is
in the right place. It depicts hazing, someone taking a stand against
it, and the consequences of that choice.

But hands-down, the two best ones are "Fraternity Row" and "The
Hazing" both from the 70's, however you will have a very hard time
finding either of them on video. You'll have to search for a used
rental copy on Ebay or Amazon, but both films are quite good.
