Goofs
The scavenger hunt's item that was assigned to Pledge Ziegler was to sleep with at least one girl of each sorority before hell week begins. But the last girl Wendy (Susan Ward) only agreed to do it with him after he was already pledged. The fraternity was supposed to de-pledge him when he arrived for hell week.

Imitation Spawns Brilliance (For Once)

Let's get this straight up front: "Going Greek" does not deviate from the college-sex-party genre first established by "Animal House." Nor does it rise about fare like "Old School" or "American Pie." However, without the benefit of marquee names, "Going Greek" unearths a gem that is seldom found in most of the dredge released these days by National Lampoon: comedy. "Going Greek" is genuinely funny, with a fantastic no-name cast and terrific story to boot. If anything, the film is more akin to "PCU," another cult college film made way before Jeremy Piven joined an "Entourage" and John Favreau launched "Zathura."

And who knows? Maybe wider audiences will someday know the names Dylan Bruno and Dublin James.
