It's 1967, and while the world is turning topsy-turvy, the twosome seeks refuge within the walls of Sigma Zeta Chi. But Peachy's bid to pledge doesn't come easy; in fact, he finagles his way into the frat house, along with the first non-white to ever pledge a college fraternity in Oklahoma, a full-blood Kickapoo Indian named Larry Twohatchets. And when the pledge class seems it couldn't take on one more misfit, along comes Smokey Ray Divine, a golfing hippie that lives on the razor's edge. Amy, Audora, and Cassie are the three muskarettes who steer the boys through college life, helping to protect them from the Vietnam tentacles that keep trying to reach through the windows of the fraternity house and pull the members into the jungle. But as the fraternity men cope by building their walls thicker and thicker, they discover that the enemy comes from within. Over the course of their four college years, faith is born through the death of their dreams. The Age of Aquarius meets The Age of Apollo in this flirtation with a mystical college life on University Boulevard.

Descriere

IT'S 1967. The winds of change are blowing--and about to obliterate life, as he knows it, for Chipper DeHart. From a John Wayne world of right and wrong, he's gone off to college where everything's turned upside down in a tornado of social change. Longtime friends, the ever-conflicted Chipper and wheeler-dealer Peachy are bound to college together, along with Chipper's girlfriend, Amy. When the boys pledge a fraternity, they find that initiation goes beyond traditional hazing, and end up enemies with a dangerous upper classman. Along with Guru Smokey Ray and the first-ever "Greek" Kickapoo Indian, they hatch a plot to overthrow him. From the quagmire of Vietnam to trading middle-class traditions for the slippery slope of hippie enlightenment to fraternity pranks, Chipper's caught in the middle, trying to lead himself, and his friends, into adulthood. Take a walk down University Boulevard. It's a trip you'll never forget.
