Kreischer grew up in Tampa, Florida. His mother worked in early childhood development and his father worked as a real-estate attorney. He attended a private Jesuit high school then went on to attend Florida State University (FSU). Kreischer majored in English and was a member of the Alpha Tau Omega fraternity.\n', '

In 1997, during Kreischer\'s sixth year at FSU, the university was ranked number one by The Princeton Review in their annual list of the top "party schools" in the United States. Later that same year Kreischer became the focus of a six-page article in Rolling Stone who named him "the top partier at the Number One Party School in the country." Titled "Bert Kreischer: The Undergraduate," the article recounted Kreischer\'s party hijinx, which included bouts of heavy drinking and public nudity. From the Rolling Stone article director Oliver Stone optioned the rights to Kreischer\'s life. When the development deal with Oliver Stone fell through all the scripts that were submitted went back to their writers. One of these writers changed Kreischer\'s name and sold the script to National Lampoon. This became the basis for the 2002 film National Lampoon\'s Van Wilder starring Ryan Reynolds.\n', '
