Painting the....

[Drolefille]

There's a rock on SLU's campus that is the sole "property" of Parks Guard which is a drill team based out of the college of Aviation and Engineering, and though the website sort of seperates itself from the Air Force, it was portrayed to me as almost a fraternity with the Air Force ROTC on campus.

Anyway, their "pledges" or whatever were in charge of painting the rock and changed freqently. Its default was a MIA flag. The best story is that someone came and painted over it several days in a row, someone outside of PG. The PG guys were out there every night redoing it.

Pepperdine has "The Rock," which is...well, a rock in the middle of the campus, close to the dining hall. The groups that paint it get very creative, and it really never sits unpainted.

Yep, Otterbein has "the rock", which has a very strict contingent of rules around it...we paint it regularly during pledgeship as a bonding activity. Some people do get creative, i think my favorite was a bumble bee.

BU has a rock at the corner of the BU Bridge that is known as "Fraternity Rock" - although obviously some other orgs will paint it on occasion.

Ksigkid and I spent many many many long hours painting that bad boy, or painting a McNugget onto it, or sitting in lawnchairs during greekweek.

I walked by there the other week and I swear the rock was gone. Or, you know, I could be lying.

at fsu all the sororities tried to paint the sae lion. while some were successful, most were caught in the act, and had paint dumped on them. i had devised a plan to throw a paint filled balloon from the back of a motorcycle, but i decided that the consequences were not worth it. i am a wuss.

We had "the wall" that was painted for various events- usually the pledge classes would paint it and then different student orgs would paint it to advertise different events. During initiation season, you would have to guard the wall all night to make sure a different org didn't try and paint over what you had just painted.
Oh, and we had the SAE lions that other frats were always trying to paint. I remember the Phi Tau's painting then pink once.

I'm sure now having the new member class go and paint the wall would be considered hazing, but it was one of my best memories from I-week.
