One minor prank I should mention happened around 1998. The TKEs were new on campus and were heavily recruiting. They were rushing on the 1st floor of the Union right below a bridge on the 2nd floor that connects Unions East and West. The SAEs took this opportunity to dump buckets of water on the TKEs from the bridge and shouted "Welcome to UTEP!" afterward. I was IFC secretary at the time and the SAEs weren't punished at all by the then IFC president (a SigEp).
The sad conclusion to that story -- TKE was off campus by 2000. They rushed heavily and had over 100 members to begin with, then watched them disappear one-by-one.
SAE was removed around 1999 after two members were charged with rape at a party in Albuquerque, NM. Even though many people didn't like them, they were still a strong organization until that point. Ten years later they still aren't back despite having an incredibly strong local alumni base.
SigEp was removed a few years after that. They were on campus only around 6 or 7 years themselves. They also were huge right out of the gate, then lost a bunch of people by 2000. I still remember the bed race controversy in 2001 or so. They looked like they were going to be big after narrowly beating us in Greek Week 2000.
