In days of old this may have been considered a prank or a 'spirit mission', as long as the items in question taken were returned undamaged within a certain time 'window'. In this day and age, it would be considered vandalism and burglary, among other things, if you get caught.

I would NOT condone breaking into a house to capture a rival house's charter, composites or - egad - ritual equipment (yes, it's been known to happen). Unfortunately, things get taken too far.

To be one hundred percent honest...my pledge class was the bomb at pulling this stuff off!! We ALWAYS returned everything but it was a fun way to get to know other pledge classes. One time we took a fraternities letters right from under their noses. Of course we painted them and returned them the next day with dohnuts! It was also a big deal to toilet paper their house becasue supposedly no one had ever gotten away with it before, but we did. Later tht night we came back to help them clean it up though.

Anything we ever did was always in the spirirt of fun and the guys knew it! They would play the same kind of pranks on us! We always had a good time with it.

I think it is totally disrespectful not to return anything you might have borrowed, but as far as I know on my campus this is a game that has been going on for years!
