Harold Ramis, a member of Zeta Beta Tau, added some elements inspired by his experiences at Washington University (St. Louis).

I still have my original copy (1974) of National Lampoon 1964 High School Yearbook Parody. As a little kid, I thought it was hilarious. And even after thirty plus years, it is still hilarious! A classic as it were.

Thanks.

I haven't read the book yet, but I just ordered a copy of it off Amazon.com. I can't wait to read it!

Just had to bump this thread. I found The Original Animal House at Border's a few weeks ago for $3.99, so naturally I now have it.

I cannot stop laughing.
