Did You Know?
| Trivia | Director David DeCoteau wanted to work with Linnea Quigley so much that he handed her the script and told her she could play any character she wanted. She eventually decided on Spider. See more » |
| Goofs | They continually refer to the sorority as "Tri-Delta" (an obvious nod to Revenge of the Nerds Delta Delta Delta}. However the the front of the house where they held the initiation had Pi Chi Omega over the front porch. Also, the paddle which Babs used to paddle the initiates and the guys was clearly marked with Beta Pi Theta. See more » |
