Animal House & SAE

John Landis made a point of bringing the Delta House actors on location at the University of Oregon a week early. They quickly bonded and partied like it was 1962. One evening some of the guys met up with a few sorority girls and went to a frat party at the SAE house, to absorb the atmosphere and gather information about playing college students. The local Sigma Alpha Epsilon chapter didn’t take kindly to their arrival, however, and they managed to get into a brawl with “drunk football players dying for blood.” The melee that ensued sent Peter Riegert to the emergency room, left Bruce McGill with a black eye and put James Widdoes in a dentist’s chair at eight on a Sunday morning to repair a broken tooth. “It was Karen Allen’s fault,” recalls Riegert today. “We were trying to get out of there and she turned around and started with the name-calling.” When John Belushi arrived in Oregon (his SNL commitments kept him from arriving a week early) and heard about the SAE fight, he responded with, “WE GOTTA GET ‘EM!!!” and had to be physically restrained from seeking revenge!
