Fraternity Vacation is a 1985 American sex comedy teen film starring Stephen Geoffreys as a nerdy pledge to the Theta Pi Gamma fraternity at Iowa State, with Tim Robbins and Cameron Dye as Theta Pi Gamma frat boys (or, as they are known to their Iowa State frat rivals, "Theta Pigs"). On spring break in Palm Springs, California, some boys compete for the affections of a sophisticated co-ed, played by Sheree J. Wilson.[4]
The most memorable part of the movie occurs early on with the nude scene with Barbara Crampton and Kathleen Kinmont.
Despite being saddled with a nerdy pledge during a Palm Springs weekend, two frat brothers vie for a poolside blonde.
