Portrayal of fraternities and sororities in popular culture Fraternities and sororities have been portrayed both positively and negatively in popular culture. Often their widespread use in comedy as protagonists eventually propagates negative stereotypes. The most famous portrayal of a fraternity in a comedy is National Lampoon's Animal House, starring John Belushi and co-written by Chris Miller, an Alpha Delta alumnus from Dartmouth College and Harold Ramis, a Zeta Beta Tau alumnus from the Washington University in St. Louis chapter. Though the Delta fraternity protagonists were meant to be portrayed positively in the film, it is often used by those skeptical of fraternities to describe the dangers of the binge drinking culture seen in fraternities. More recently, the movie Old School portrays a different kind of fraternity. It stars Luke Wilson, Vince Vaughn, and Will Ferrell as three friends in their thirties trying to relive their college years. To do this, they move into an off-campus fraterntiy house and start recruiting members, ranging from average college students to an 80 year old man named Blue. The movie parodies college fraternity life by focusing on hazing, drinking, partying (including a Snoop Dogg concert at the house), and girls.
