Police Raid Frat House That Inspired ‘Animal House’

The fraternity that inspired the movie “National Lampoon’s Animal House” got some visitors who weren’t wearing togas.

They were police officers — raiding the Alpha Delta house near the Dartmouth College campus green in New Hampshire. But what they’re looking for is a mystery.

Authorities arrested one student on drug possession charges but said that was not the focus of the search. Nineteen-year-old Kemper Pierce was charged with possession of a controlled substance, believed to be marijuana.

Fourteen officers searched the Alpha Delta fraternity house for more than five hours Thursday. Police removed 10 crates and two bags of evidence, along with two sledgehammers, a videotape and a computer, according to the Valley News of Lebanon.

D-Day: War’s over, man. Wormer dropped the big one.
Bluto: Over? Did you say “over”? Nothing is over until we decide it is! Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell no!
Otter: Germans?
Boon: Forget it, he’s rolling.
Bluto: And it ain’t over now. ‘Cause when the goin’ gets tough… (thinks hard) the tough get goin’! Who’s with me? Let’s go! (runs out, alone; then returns)
Bluto: What the fuck happened to the Delta I used to know? Where’s the spirit? Where’s the guts, huh? “Ooh, we’re afraid to go with you Bluto, we might get in trouble.” Well, just kiss my ass from now on! Not me! I’m not gonna take this. Wormer, he’s a dead man! Marmalard, dead! Niedermeyer—
Otter: Dead! Bluto’s right. Psychotic, but absolutely right. We gotta take these bastards. Now we could do it with conventional weapons, but that could take years and cost millions of lives. No, I think we have to go all out. I think that this situation absolutely requires a really futile and stupid gesture be done on somebody’s part.
Bluto: We’re just the guys to do it.
D-Day: Let’s do it.
Bluto: LET’S DO IT!!
