[edit] Plot
When a toilet explodes on the first day back to school on a group of mis-fit girlfriends, they are forced to leave their housing and search for a new home. They ultimately decide on pledging a sorority. However, not many sororities are normal at South Beach University. The girls decide to pledge the most popular and exclusive sorority at the university, Gamma Gamma, which is lead by president Victoria English. The only reason Victoria plans to let the freshmen pledge is to display diversity, which is a requirement for the "FHM Hottest Soroity In The Country" contest. From then on, Victoria declares war on the girls during "Hell Week" but ultimatly lets them join, only to kick them out once they have won the contest. This angers the leader of the mis-fit freshmen Gloria, who declares war on Victoria by sneaking into the Gamma Gamma house and stealing embarrassing photos and video footage of Victoria to show to everyone at the Gamma Gamma victory party. Victoria becomes embarrassed and eventually makes a public apology to the freshmen. The movie ends with a giant food fight at the Gamma Gamma party, and Victoria saying that she loved her cover of "FHM" so much, that she bought the magazine.

[edit] Production
Filming started in early 2004 in Miami, Florida before Hilton even started filming her theatrical debut House Of Wax. Filming finished in 2004 and a trailer was released on the movie's official website. However, producers wanted Pledge This! to have an R-rating, which would allow more nudity in the movie. Paris Hilton was appalled by the idea. But more scenes with nudity were filmed pushing the movie back to mid-2005. But because of the hurricanes that hit Florida in 2005 filming had to be delayed and then ultimately moved. This problem pushed the movie back to early 2006. Fans were confused that the trailer had proclaimed this movie as "Paris Hilton's film debut" yet she had already appeared in 2005's House of Wax. Finally in spring of 2006 it was announced that National Lampoon's Pledge This! would be released as an unrated DVD on December 19, 2006. It was also released on a rated R edition.
