A few students at our rival Middlebury are spending their month-long “J-term” producing a webseries about three collegians struggling their way through fraternity pledging.
The first episode in the four-part series debuted last night. The plot of the show is mostly typical frat movie stuff , at least through the first installment, when the pledges are required to (”gasp”) throw a big toga party and attempt to buy booze. There are a few quirky twists, however, which were to be expected from many of the same folks behind last year’s goofy mockumentary series “Public Safety”".
The show is directed by Middlebury senior Brad Becker-Parton and stars juniors Ben Orbison, Greg Dorris and Adam Benay as the hapless pledges Chet, Kevin and Zach. Junior Tom Califra plays a homoerotic pledgemaster with a taste for cottage cheese, and senior Ele Woods plays his girlfriend.
