Geoffreys is the nerd frat freshman, the one who carries a swimming pool float that knocks everybody near the swimming pool into the water. Hah! Very funny, or sporadically amusing. He does it repeatedly with one too many beats. Still, Geoffreys has a certain cool factor, and what makes him different from others in his Theta Pi Gamma fraternity at Iowa State is that he is willing to talk and listen to a girl. His aspirations do not run to what can happen between the sheets. His fellow Theta Pi Gamma frat boys (Tim Robbins and Cameron Dye) are just horny and want to pursue the supposedly stuck-up blonde across from their rented apartment whom they can view with their telescope (she's played by Sheree J. Wilson, in her film debut whom some of you might know from "Walker: Texas Ranger"). Geoffreys is just the opposite and has the bravery to ask a girl to come to his apartment (played by Amanda Bearse, and they both later appeared in "Fright Night").
"Fraternity Vacation" has copious amounts of stupidity related to Bearse's father (John Vernon as a very irate police chief) and Geoffreys' relationship with Bearse is boring to say the least - she doesn't seem interested in him at all though he has high hopes. Geoffreys is a romantic, and no one else in the movie has interests beyond copulation. Geoffreys' character is an optimist and no free suntan lotion to those who can't figure out whom he ends up with at the end. The movie is generic and freely devoid of any real sexual heat or humor beyond the juvenile. Stephen Geoffreys, though, is the one you will remember.
