Salamanders: A Night at the Phi Delt House

Plot: For twenty years, male members of a fraternity at a major state university and their female guests have been celebrating the end of the school year by capturing and eating live salamanders. Is the "salamander-eating contest" staged by these students a fad or a tradition? A rite of passage for college men and women? Or an inhumane and senseless act? The film documents the ritual in cinema verité fashion and permits viewers to decide for themselves
