The principal writer of it based part of it off Gilmore academy in Cleveland, where he went to high school at. My dad graduated from Gilmore. They got him to come speak at the graduation. Apparently he's a blast to party with. Everything I've seen, heard, and read indicated it came from the experiences of Harold Ramis, Chris Miller, and Ivan Reitman's college fraternity experience. Ramis was a Zeta Beta Tau at Washington University, Miller was an Alpha Delta Phi at Dartmouth, and Reitman was a Delta Upsilon at McMaster University. |

I could be wrong, but the National Lapoon documentary on Netflix has it a different way. A few weeks ago I was bored and randomly watched that. Just checked and it's still on there, it's called Drunk Stoned Brilliant Dead: The Story of the National Lampoon. Those people were seriously messed up, hilarious, but oh so seriously messed up. It was pretty interesting though. |

Douglas Kenny's experience at Harvard and Gilmour also played into the different roles. But again, with how young he died, he is not exactly around to project himself into the making of the movie aspect much. |
| Donald Sutherland's decision to take an up front payment for his small role in the movie, instead of the percentage of royalties he was offered, turned out to be one of the worst decisions in the history of Hollywood. I think it wound up costing him like $10 Million +. |
