Which fraternity is responsible for inspiring the movie, "Animal House" with John Belushi? Was the film made on campus whatsoever?

The film "Animal House,"and the short stories from the National Lampoon magazine that inspired it, were written by Chris Miller '63 and are said to have been based on his experiences at the Alpha Delta Phi fraternity, of which Miller was a member. No parts of "Animal House" were filmed at Dartmouth; the University of Oregon was the real-life site of the movie's Faber College.
