A really good college movie is "A Reason to Believe." I think it came out in 95. My chapter uses it in new member education. Summary from amazon.com:
"A popular girl on campus, Charlotte, attends a fraternity party while her boyfriend Wesley is out of town. When she realizes she has become too drunk, she leaves the party. But Jim, who she danced with at the party soon joins her and she is forced into a sexual encounter. Feeling ashamed and self-blame, it is difficult for her to find the courage to speak out. When she does, many of her friends do not believe her. Meanwhile, Jim honestly does not think what happened that night was rape. But as members of his own fraternity and campus feminist groups begin to unpiece the grey areas, the ensuing experience challenges the trust and friendship of college students who thought they would be friends forever."
It is probably the most realistic of all the college fraternity/sorority movies out there. The "initiated brothers" scene where the fraternity members are discussing what to do with the accused member is VERY realistic, and could have been taken from any of our chapters closed meetings. The soundtrack is great. There are the few cliche scenes, but this flick comes closest to reality.
