A girl who is supposed to be 13 but presumably the actress is older as her breasts are exposed

After the horse dies there’s a very obviously fake horse cadaver seen partially behind a sofa with its legs straight up in the air as a visual gag. It’s then dismembered with a chainsaw, which is not seen

The horse is a working horse but the owner is clearly very attached to it and pets it

After the deltas are told they’re all expelled, one of them vomits on the dean, which is heard but not seen. There’s also the scene where Bluto deliberately sprays food from his mouth all over other people when he does an impression of a zit, which might be triggering

All the minorities in the film are misrepresented. There’s a pretty racist scene in a dive bar full of black people, and inclusivity is the butt of quite a few jokes (the rival fraternity have disabled, Jewish, black and Asian members, which is presented as stupid and sanctimonious)
