Random Psi U trivia, but Omega from Animal House was based on the Zeta chapter of Psi U.

Their crest always reminded me of Sigma Chi, though.

Are you sure? Every seemingly-reliable source I've seen says it was mainly based on the Dartmouth SAE chapter. Miller was an SAE legacy, and his description of SAE's rush party bears a strong resemblance to rush at the Omega house -- right down to the two girls handing out nametags at a table at the front door and a brother telling rushees that most of the "real achievers at Dartmouth" choose SAE.

Perhaps this means it's time to read The Real Animal House again.

It does. But it also has a crescent moon on it and the colors are red and green - so perhaps an homage to Kappa Sigma as well. Also, Omega Theta Pi sounds a lot like Beta Theta Pi. Just sayin'.

And it might be time for me to watch “Animal House” again.
