Very sweet old-fashioned movie... I enjoyed it even though the girls end up not joining a sorority at the end. (Whoops, sorry about the spoiler!) |
I think I've seen that move, like when I was little. Is there a scene where she's all bitter and talking with her grand father (maybe uncle?) and she and her friends discuss how they're going to exclude all the sorority girls from everything but then it's pointed out they'd be hypocrites??? Or something like that!  It was a good movie if it's the same one.

Yup... that's the one!
It was the girl's father... and they were going to create an "anti-sorority," after none of them joined a sorority.

A couple of thing that I want to add...
About movies and hazing, the incident that is at the climax of FRATERNITY ROW is based on a real incident that happened at UCLA or USC in 1959. CSI
used a variation for one of its episodes set at fictious Western Las Vegas University.
On a lighter, add TOO MANY GIRLS to the list of movies. The 1939 musical introduced Lucille Ball to Desi Arnaz. If you can image Lucy as a sorority pledge. Unfortunately, she looks her age, 26 or 27 in 1938/39.

I own Too Many Girls, it's interesting to see the vast changes in sorority life since then. This is back in the day when women went to college to find husbands rather than to get an education. But, I have to be an old movie snob here (I seriously watch too many for my own good), the movie was made in 1940 and Lucy was 29 (Desi was 23). However, this was before the days of I Love Lucy and Lucy didn't have her crazy redhead reputation yet, she was still a B-list Hollywood glamour girl. I wouldn't exactly say "she looks her age," though, there was a lot of gray area back then in movies about ages, a lot of teenagers looked older, older people looked younger, etc.

what about these?
Has anyone mentioned Going Greek? I personally love PCU. Also the new one Accepted, that was cute. Van Wilder also has Greek life.

I don't think anyone here have mentioned "Stomp The Yard", scheduled for release in January 2007.
Other Greek movies are "[In The Name Of] Tha Brotherhood" and "Tha Sistahood" and its sequel "Tha Sistahood 2", directed by Big Walt Anderson.

Van Wilder's getting a sequel! I love Van Wilder but I think I'll wait for Taj to come to DVD before I see it. It looks pretty much the same but set in England.
Link to the trailer:

I rented Going Greek last week. Though mainstream Greek life is relatively foreign to me, the scenes and events looked very plausible and I figured there was a degree of accuracy of what mainstream Greeks do.
Oh, and I found it to be funny and the characters to be very believable.
