I hope people don't think that fraternities are really like this... this is insane.
I love how Steve said "I am the master prankster!" and then he dumped a bucket of water in Earl's bed. To me, that's not a prank - that's just being meanspirited. A prank involves thought, planning, careful timing - something like "cleaning" the DZO house and taking stuff. Dumping a bucket of water isn't a prank, it's just immature. Steve's a jerk. Earl's anger gets out of control, but Steve is just mean.
Poor Earl... I hope he doesn't de-pledge. I'll miss his pouty little puppydog face. He was so cute sleeping on the couch in the union...
