My freshman year, I lived on the smallest floor on campus, only 22 guys, and that's including the RA and 2 SA's (soph. advisors). At the end of the hall was an apartment, where a grad. student, usually from Indiana State, lived. She worked for student affairs. One weekend, she was gone to a conference with several RA's from campus, so we decided to pull a prank on her. Incidently, the whole idea for the prank was mine, but when I came up with it, I never thought we'd do it! We went to the lumber store and bought several 2x4's, nails, drywall, drywall mud, and paint. Then, we built a frame in the hallway out of the 2x4's and nailed the drywall to it. One of the guys spent the previous summer drywalling, so he finished the drywall with the mud. After the mud had dried, we painted the wall, and then took some of the baseboard trim that had come loose around the rest of the floor and put it at the base of the wall. It looked perfect. Her boss, the guy in charge of student life at the time came over while we were building it and thought it was the funniest prank he'd ever seen. The next day she got back, and to make things worse, had to pee really bad. She came in and there was just a wall where her door had always been. She thought it was just paper and told us to tear it down. We told her it was permanent, and then banged on it to show her it was real. She got so mad, and said she was going to tell her boss. She went to his apartment, which was on campus, and told him what had happened. He told her he couldn't believe it and would deal with us accordingly. It was great!
By the way, this prank got voted the best prank of the year by the campus paper. It even beat the senior prank that year.
