“Heart of Dixie” was based on a book called “Heartbreak Hotel” by Anne Rivers Siddons (who is a Tri-Delt alum). She wrote another book called “Outer Banks” which was about 4 sorority sisters reuniting after 25 years. It flashed back to their time in college also. The whole time my mom was reading it she was asking me things like “What’s a legacy?”
Speaking of Animal House, it was on this weekend. Have you ever noticed the Omegas’ (the mean nasty fraternity) crest looks like a Sigma Chi crest?!?! I wonder if that was intentional?
Everyone gives Animal House a bad rap, but you have to remember that at the time (in 1978) campuses were just getting over dealing with Vietnam and going back to fraternities seemed like something carefree and positive, toga parties included. I’ve also read statistics that Greek membership went up something like 60% as a result of that movie.
