Spec script sale: “Frat Chance”

Screenwriters Sam Elhag and Rex Perez are partying hard tonight after National Lampoon purchased their spec script Frat Chance. Here’s the premise:

Playing in the same undergraduate sandbox as Lampoon’s “Animal House” and “Van Wilder,” “Frat Chance” follows the adventures of a nerd whose full-boat scholarship hinges on his joining a fraternity.

Interesting backstory re the writers:

Elhag had a pre-existing relationship with National Lampoon. He created DrunkUniversity.com, a comedy site that Lampoon acquired in March 2007 and spun into the Drunk University Network, a collection of college-focused sites, a few months later. The student shenanigans detailed on Elhag’s site inspired much of the script’s material.

DrunkUniversity.com. Why didn’t I think of that? Or you!
