Yes, it can get out of control like having raw eggs thrown against a new house of one Fraternity from another.


Pay Backs are hell! Sad as it gets?

It was not Tom's chapter. Anyways, that was what ten years ago. Besides, I swiped some stuff from Tom's house. Just kidding.

Thanks LOL, but as I remember, neither of our Chapters are still there and if they cannot act properly, then they should be removed.

Personally, I think a prank like this has to follow three rules in order to be cool:
1. It has to be returned in a few days, certainly no more than a week.
2. It has to be returned in the same condition it was taken in.
3. It can't be anything ritual.

Some girls from our chapter stole a lawn gnome from one of the fraternities once. I think it belonged to the Delts. We took about a million pictures with it during recruitment, including one where it was sitting in front of the Sigma Chi house. It was returned in one piece; I think the Delts even got copies of the pictures.

Garbage like permanently stealing items or ruining them is crime, not a prank and IMHO should be prosecuted.

Bwahahaha, you should've made them a photo album titled "The Roaming Gnome" to pay homage to those travelocity commercials.

We sold the old chapter house and moved out two year ago-- the week of moving several items appeared on the front porch with notes saying "we stole this years ago- thought you might want it back now" We even had a composite from the 80s reappear with many different sets of fraternity letters on the back!

I can't remember if it Kappa Sig or ATO (more likely KS) that stole our letters with where bolted on to the wall in our courtyard. We didn't notice for a long time but eventually got them back.

and

One time one of my sisters was visiting her boyfriend and she found some items that had been missing for a while. A composite and a wooden carving of our crest that some alum gave the chapter. The only thing that was really strange, her boyfriends goes to a different school in a different state (well it's only like an hour away).

We were joking that we were gonna keep it until our initiation so that it could attend initiation with us...
