We did quite a few things that have been already mentioned, but I'll add two more:

1) One sorority just couldn't get their numbers up (they had SIX!!), yet there was a move to bring a new sorority on campus. We got a letter writing campaign together and the colony was put off another term, while the small sorority had a recolonization. Both chapters are still on campus!

2) Since we were all in suites in the same dorm (except two), we would set up a "Study Break Bar". We had a coffee urn that was used just to heat water, lots of instant coffee, tea bags, and hot chocolate, and cookies or such. Then we put signs in the lobby & elevator to join us for a study break from 11pm>12midnight; women only, come as you are. That way, no one cared how anyone was dressed, and there were distinct hours - an alarm would sound for midnight. I don't think anyone does that now, and it's a shame - a lot of good Panhellenic unity came out of those study breaks. Well, except the one night when everyone was arrested, but that's another story...

UCF has a very Panhellenic atmosphere and the chapters help and support one another.

And now you have to tell that story before I e-pummel you. In a loving, panhellenic way of course. I'm trying to help out the greek community in the spirit of this thread!

We moved the sign in front of one of the sororities' house. Except they didn't need or want it moved. I don't think they were very amused.

Never mind, that was not a good example.

Done! I guess I should say that no one ended up with a record, it was the result of a prank. Which is also why I tend to be a little strict about pranks!

I definitely laughed, but wow, just wow. I have a few choice words, but I will not utter them in a public forum.
