SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - A California university, once ranked by Playboy magazine as the top U.S. party school, is probing a fraternity for a party where a hard-core sex film was made, a school spokesman said on Monday.
California State University Chico has suspended its 25-member chapter of Phi Kappa Tau, while it investigates the party at which professional porn actors were filmed having sex last October, said school spokesman Joe Wills.
Shane's World, a Southern California maker of adult films, including ones featuring partying college students, provided four female and two male actors for the film, a spokeswoman said.
A trailer of the toga-themed film, on sale on DVD for $24.95, appears on the filmmaker's Web site. Three Chico State students had sex on film, said Shane's World spokeswoman Nicole Henderson.
"On Friday we suspended the fraternity," said Wills. "We're trying to gather information as fast as we can right now."
The fraternity chapter will not be able to participate in school events until the university concludes its investigation, which stemmed from a rumor circulating on campus, said Rick Rees, a student activities official.
The fraternity chapter could not be reached for comment on the film, the most recent scandal to hit Chico State. Earlier this month police arrested students in connection with the death of a student during a Chi Tau fraternity hazing ritual.
Chico is a college town in a rural area of northern California.
Film company spokeswoman Henderson said the filmmaker is contacted for its films by college students, who must verify they are older than 18 and sign release forms to be at parties and appear in its "College Invasion" series of films.
"We bring the porn stars and the cameras, and we just film," Henderson said. "We get hundreds of letters every month from college students wanting us to come out to their schools."
Shane's World has made six College Invasion films since 2000 and is in talks with university students for future films, Henderson said.
oh my
All were consenting adults, so why does the college feel the need to get involved?
Lovely.
Gives a whole new meaning to Magna Cum Laude.
Magma Cum Loudly.
This is news?
I know a chapter that tried to do this in the 70's.
Ping. Post #6 is a classic.
Couldn't they have just put them on "Double Secret Probation?"
[Freepmail me to get on or off this Not-A-Ping-List.]
It was probably heterosexual porn, which is why the fraternity is being punished.
Well, at least they didn't use amateurs..
I would say that the students should be hung but apparently some already are.
That's every other night at Chico State (and most other universities!).
This should enhance Chico State's reputation as a "party school".
Animal House 2005.
