Greek-related movies

[docetboy]

Van Wilder was an awesome movie - especially the orthodox jewry party... I'm sure myself, AEPis, and other Jewish students really appreciated that scene!

"True Confessions of a Soroity Girl," something along those lines. It has Alyssa Milano from Who's the Boss and another girl, I think her name is Jamie. But, that is supposed to be a comedy.

The other girl is Jamie Luner(sp?) She played Lexi on Melrose Place. Anyway, I saw this movie and it was so cheesy. I thought it was suppose to be a horror film.

There is also "8 heads in a duffle bag." Some of the action takes place at a fraternity house.

Another movie is Tommy Boy, I think at the very beginning before Tommy graduates college he is partying at his fraternity house.

"The Graduate" isn't about fraternity life but there is one scene where Dustin Hoffman runs into the Theta Chi Delta house looking for the man who's going to marry his girlfriend. It's not a big scene but it's a pretty important scene.

errrr .... Well, lionlove, the house is Theta Delta Chi, not the Theta Chi Delta (just switch the second and third letter around).

Also don't forget the Dead Man on Campus.

Haha melrose place remindes meof Beverly Hills 90210 and arrons pelling. The fraternitny that steve and those other guys whent hey went to college, it was called Kappa Epilosn Gamma, haha KEG... I remember when the didn't want Adnrea to join because she wore her necklace with the star so they kenw she was jewish, and then so she deicided not to join, and then got preggers.

There was this one movie my (real) sister ernted a while baclk and it had girls that lived in a big house and on the back it said they were in sorority beut they really werent't i don't think, and it was called "New Best friend" and these one richs girls give this girl bad coke and kill her. It's a B movie, and very badly acted in itl.

in St. Elmo's Fire the 4 guys were in the same fraternity. If you look closely in the first couple scenes that Rob Lowe is in you can see him wearing a sweatshirt with letters on it under his coat (you can see delta sigma). His character also goes back to the fraternity at some point in the movie when he's trying to figure out his life.

I just saw Sorority Boys for the first time this weekend. While the movie overall isn't particularly great, it has it's moments. I love how all the KOK alums are "Animal House" veterans.

The dirty little bro that backdoors "Adena" reminds me waaay too much of one of my brothers...way shady.

And who can forget the "walk of shame" and "dogcatcher"? As horrible as they are, i still get a kick out of them.

KS 361 times i laughed at a sorority with the letters DOG

And then there's the lifetime movie original "Dying To Belong" with Jenna Von Oy (From Blossom). It's a sorority hazing movie that we have to thank for perpetuating many stereotypes.

I watched this movie with my grandmother, who never went to school beyond the 8th grade. She thought that everyone was hazed on college campuses after that movie, and would call me at school to ask if the horrible mean older girls were beating me or my boyfriend up... Bless her heart!

Just read about a new movie coming out that is greek-related.

Movie is entitle "Old School" and is supposed to be a comedy about '3 disillusioned friends trying to capture the glory of their college days by starting an off-campus fraternity that is not bound by the rules and regulations of normal frat houses'. Stars Luke Wilson, Will Farrell, Vince Vaughn.

Supposedly will be out in the next 2-3 months

The new movie, Drumline, has some Greek Life scenes.

I just watched a movie last night called "Pumpkin" with Christina Ricci where she plays an Alpha Omega Pi. It wasn't that great of a movie.

There is a movie made in 1989 called "Heart of Dixie". It stars Allie Sheedy, and most of her friends are in her sorority and fraternities. It's been on Encore alot lately. There is also a movie called Breaking Away that was filmed at the University of Indiana and Bloomington. It was made in 1979, but has alot of greek stuff in it.

I also just recently watched Mr. and Mrs. Bridge. One of their daughters is a Kappa in the movie. She comes home from school to tell her mom she's engaged, and she has a Kappa Key on her sweater. She also makes a reference to going to a Kappa alumnae meeting later on!

I had forgotten about "Heart of Dixie"--I think it was filmed at Ole Miss at the DG house. My cousin's daughter was at Ole Miss at the time (she's a DG) and was in a crowd scene, maybe the funeral. She was supposed to be a "friend," but her schedule didn't allow her to be that involved.

I only heard about this movie since I work at a video store. It is called, "The Fraternity." Other than the title, I don't know anything about it! Also, I haven't seen this one either but it is called something like, "True Confessions of a Soroity Girl," something along those lines. It has Alyssa Milano from Who's the Boss and another girl, I think her name is Jamie. But, that is supposed to be a comedy.

Ok, one of my sisters found this movie at ALF and we watched it one day. It was very humorous, but a few things puzzled me... like when Jamie Lunar first comes to the house, she's immediately given a little sister. Then, she's elected president. It was all just a little weird. But hey, it is just a movie!
