The Greek Life, a documentary film on fraternities at Dartmouth, produced by Brian L. Porzak '65 as part of his Senior Fellowship project in the study of motion pictures, was given a campus showing in May.

The project involved the development of every phase of production from scriptwriting to editing. Porzak did the original script, the photography, the sound recording, and the final editing. Assistance was provided by Michael Litle '67, Ron Mortara '67, and Ben Moore '67. Music was done with the help of Miles Graeber '67 and Michael Crabtree '66.

The film is an attempt to show the social attitudes and actions of today's college students, especially in regard to the social institutions they have created for themselves, the fraternity and sorority system, or as they call it, "the Greek system." The film is a half-hour in length, and is 16-mm. sound on film. Sigma Nu Delta is the scene of most of the action.
