Plot
In the fall 1962, Faber College freshmen Larry Kroger and Kent Dorfman sought to pledge a fraternity. Finding themselves ostracized at the prestigious Omega Theta Pi house party, the two visit the Delta Tau Chi house next door; Kent believes he cannot be rejected because his older brother Fred was a member, making him a "legacy." During the party, they meet the slovenly John Blutarsky ("Bluto"), chapter president Robert Hoover ("Hoov"), smooth-talking Eric Stratton ("Otter"), and his best friend Donald Schoenstein ("Boon"), motorcyclist Daniel Simpson Day ("D-Day"), and Boon's girlfriend Katy. Larry and Kent are accepted as Delta pledges and given the fraternity names "Pinto" and "Flounder," respectively. Meanwhile, Chip Diller is accepted into Omega house and given a paddling to show his allegiance.
