Deltas' (Tom Hulce, Stephen Furst, Peter Riegert, Tim Matheson) hated rivals were the militaristic brothers of Omega House (Kevin Bacon, Mark Metcalf, and James Daughton).
National Lampoon’s Animal House, one of the most successful American film comedies of all time, was filmed in the Eugene area in the fall of 1977. The producers needed a campus setting for their story of the disreputable Delta Tau Chi fraternity and the mayhem it creates in 1962 at fictional Faber College.
After being turned down by the University of Missouri, Universal Studios approached the University of Oregon in September 1977. University President William Beaty Boyd instructed Director of University Relations Muriel Jackson to negotiate with the studio, and an agreement was signed on October 4 to allow filming on campus in return for $20,000 and a commitment that the university not be identified in the film.
The film, which premiered in New York City on July 24, 1978, had been made for under $3 million. It grossed $140 million in theaters in the United States and Canada. See more at OregonEncyclopedia.org.
