"Goat"
I saw "Goat" at a film festival premiere recently. It's quite good.
It's mostly about fraternity hazing, but not entirely. Since it's based on actual events, they had to make it as realistic as possible. The fraternity is called Phi Sigma Mu (the "Phi Sigs") and the film is set at a fictional college named Brookman University (or, maybe I just haven't heard of it); it's a small rural college. Not sure at which school the actual events took place.
There's a couple Rush events that takes place and then it goes right into "Hell Week", which they actually depicted well. It's a rough initiation, and much of it isn't what I personally experienced during initation, but that doesn't mean other fraternity chapters haven't done this kind of stuff. The pledges are then pinned by their big brothers, wearing their traditional blazers and khakis.
It's a pretty grim story. The lead actor is really good. Nick Jonas is good, too. I would definitely recommend seeing it. I think it's scheduled for release in September.
