At Eastern Michigan we had a kiosk. I remember one night, we wanted to paint it so we get there and see the Lambda Chi's painting it. We hide out behind some trees until they finish and leave and then go and paint it. We go home and go to bed and around 3 am, my phone rings.. the Lambda Chi's had painted over our paint job again! We painted it over again and hid out to watch. Sure enough, the Lamb Chops come back. Most of us were dating Lambda Chis and we had mixers with them more than with anybody so we were getting quite a kick out of this. It ended up being an all night thing until we finally just surrounded the kiosk and wouldn't let them come back to paint over ours again!
I talked to an older guy who went to the same college as I did, he was a member of Alpha Gamma Sigma. He said they painted the KA cannon pink and were trying to take it up the stairs of a dorm but got caught by an RA.

The Fence is the university’s billboard for student groups. Located on the Cut (the grassy area of campus between Forbes Avenue and Hunt Library), the Fence must be painted in its entirety, between midnight and sunrise. Students complete their painted work and guard the fence through the night to make sure no one paints over it.

The Washington Avenue Bridge!
At Minnesota, our Minneapolis campus spans the Mighty Mississippi, and there's a bridge that crosses it. Traffic is on the lower level, and the upper pedestrian level is covered and the interior panels are painted every year. Student groups sign up for space. I was never a part of painting the Gamma Phi area, but one year I did the panels for the men's rowing team!
