To prepare for their roles, and despite being warned against mixing with the students, the cast of the Deltas (except John Belushi, who was in New York City working on Il Saturday Night Live (1975)) accepted an invitation from some girls to a real frat party at the University of Oregon's SAE house. The real fraternity members treated them with hostility, and a brawl ensued, started by James Widdoes when he threw a cup of beer at some drunken football players. Widdoes ended up losing a few teeth, and Bruce McGill received a black eye. When Belushi returned to the set and learned of the fight, he had to be physically restrained from seeking revenge. Although accidental, this real-life incident proved emblematic of the members and character of Delta House.
