Pranks

[DeltAlum]

As a pledge prank, each of us got into our big brother's room in the house and stole a pair of underpants. Then we wrote their names and Delta Tau Delta on them in magic marker and hung them from the columns on the front of the Chi-O house.

On a more personal note, we would fill a legal size envelope full of shaving cream, cut off one end of the envelope, slide it part way under the door of someone's room and then stomp on the rest of the envelope.

Or empty a huge bag of potato chips in someone's bed under the blanket or top sheet and hope they would lie down on top of the blanket before they went to bed.

Or pee in a cup (different conotation these days), ballance it on a doorknob when someone was inside his room -- then knock on the door. Didn't do much for their shoe shine.

As a freshman someone penny locked us into our dorm room. We all had wrapped pieces of friction tape on the inside handles to get a better grip so we could open the door. Well, we twisted so hard that we broke the lock and the University Maintenance people had to come a remove the lock so we could get out of our room.

Hey, who says we didn't know how to have fun in the sixties?

Pretty dumb, huh? Juvenile?
