Teke Porno scandal

[Pike4Life]

Hey I just read about this in the Chronicle of Higher Education, June 15, 2001 edition (page A35).

Apparently there is a porno tape that was just released - "Kelley the Coed Part Six - Double Secret Probation" -- that heavily features the letters, crest and other trademarked names of Tau Kappa Epsilon Fraternity. The movie was filmed in the Teke house at USC.
Teke is suing the California company that produced the video - United Video - for unauthorized use of their trademarks. According to the article, the lawsuit says the video depicts sexual acts, hazing, excessive alcohol consumption, and irresponsible and destructive behavior.

The cover of the video box reads: "Kelly's favorite fraternity is in big trouble when they get placed on double secret probation -- that means no girls, no alcohol and no sex. What's Kelly and her horny over-sexed sorority sisters to do? Where there's a will there's a way." And above that text is a picture of several individuals engaging in sexual activity in front of a banner prominently displaying the TKE letters.

United Video claims the USC Teke chapter was paid a fee for permission to film at its fraternity house, but the Teke lawyers say they haven't seen any evidence to back that up. Plus an individual chapter does not control or authorize the use of the trademarks.

CRAZY STUFF!!! I can't believe that a chapter would even think that was a good idea! I would understand letting a film crew work in the house, but I would definately take down any and all letters or fraternity-related stuff. I mean even 90120 used made-up and fake fraternity stuff!
