Fraternity Vacation is a 1985 B-movie romp starring future movie star Tim Robbins as an egregious frat boy of the Theta Pi Gamma fraternity (or, as they are known to their Iowa State frat rivals, the "Theta Pigs"). Also starring Stephen Geoffreys, future star of gay pornography, as Wendell Tvedt, the classic 80s supernerd.

On spring break in Palm Springs California, the midwestern frat animals' hijinks melt the icy winter away as rival fraternity beefcakes compete for the affections of a sophisticated co-ed. An innocent pledge provides the laughs as the "cool guys" try to pull off the big score.

Leigh McCloskey, of Just One of the Guys fame, plays Charles 'Chas' Lawlor III. Lawlor is the "pride of the Beta Ep's," a rival fraternity, the "bad guys" frat that boasts equally cool-dressed white men.
