Animal House

In the autumn of 1962, freshmen Larry Kroger and Kent Dorfman arrive at Faber College with the goal of pledging a fraternity. They encounter their first setback when they are rejected by the elite Omega Theta Pi house party, but their determination pushes them to seek out other opportunities.

After being rejected from Omega, Larry and Kent explore the raucous Delta Tau Chi house. Kent's legacy status, due to his brother Fred's previous membership, allows them access to a vibrant party where they meet a colorful cast of characters who warmly welcome them.

Larry and Kent earn their fraternity nicknames, becoming 'Pinto' and 'Flounder.' They quickly adapt to the jubilant lifestyle of the Deltas, joining in on the fun and forming lasting bonds with their new fraternity brothers.

Meanwhile, Dean Vernon Wormer plots to disband the Delta fraternity, citing their poor academics and conduct breaches. He seeks assistance from Omega's president, Greg Marmalard, and ROTC Cadet Commander Douglas C. Neidermeyer to take down the Deltas.

The Deltas engage in a retaliatory prank against the Omegas that inadvertently leads to the death of Neidermeyer's horse. This incident escalates tensions and forms the basis for the ongoing feud between the two fraternal factions.

In an attempt to maintain their academic standing, Bluto and D-Day steal the answer key for an impending exam. Unfortunately, they fall victim to a switch orchestrated by the Omegas, resulting in dismal grades for the Deltas and further endangering their status.

Despite their academic troubles, the Deltas throw a famous toga party, which becomes the talk of the campus. Pinto's mischievous adventure at a local supermarket to gather supplies introduces him to Clorette, sparking a memorable connection.

At the toga party, Otter unwittingly flirts with Dean Wormer's wife, Marion, leading to an outrageous night filled with humorous misunderstandings. Meanwhile, Pinto faces a moral dilemma when Clorette passes out drunk, forcing him to reconsider his choices.

Amid growing hostility, Dean Wormer conducts a kangaroo court to strip the Deltas of their charter. This unjust ruling fuels the brothers' determination to fight back against the administration and reclaim their fraternity.

As a final stand against their expulsion, Otter, Boon, Pinto, and Flounder embark on a wild road trip in a borrowed Lincoln. Their adventures include trying to impress girls at an all-girls college, highlighting their humorous mischief and carefree college spirit.

Tensions within the fraternity escalate as Boon discovers Katy in a compromising position. This revelation leads to fights and deeper divisions among the members as they struggle to maintain their unity and focus on revenging against Wormer.

Determined to take down Dean Wormer, the Deltas devise a scheme to disrupt the Homecoming parade in a dramatic fashion. They transform Fred's Lincoln into the infamous 'Deathmobile,' which becomes a symbol of their rebellion.

During the Homecoming parade, the Deathmobile causes chaos by crashing into the reviewing stand, scattering Wormer, Marmalard, and other officials. This audacious act becomes an iconic moment that encapsulates the spirit of rebellion among the Deltas.

Following the parade disaster, the futures of the fraternity brothers unfold in unexpected ways. While Bluto goes on to become a U.S. senator, the Omegas face the fallout of their actions, showcasing the lasting impact of their antics.

The tumultuous journey through college emphasizes themes of brotherhood, rebellion, and the unpredictable nature of fate. The experiences shape the brothers, leaving a lasting imprint on their lives as they reflect on their time at Faber College.
