Why would you want to be "that" group?
Why not be known as the sorority that brings the fraternites homemade cookies, raises money for their philanthropies, or rakes their lawn because they wanted to be nice?
I know, I know. I'm going back to my rocking chair. Somebody get the lemonade pitcher.

Honestly? There were fraternities that we were close with, and we had fun doing stuff like this. For example, we TP'ed the house one night in the middle of the night, and the guys came out and threw buckets of water at us, and we ran around and had a good time. Context is everything.

Real stealth like putting all that out on the intarwebz. No one at your school will ever figure out it was you!

There are hundreds of Delta Psi Delta sororities out there. I'm sure no one would figure it out.
By the way, Wisconsin is probably pretty cold this time of year, right?

I agree 100%. Which is why I said what I did. The OP reads to me they are pranking EVERY fraternity...not just the ones they have a relationship with. Plus, I remember that it was the Pikes who made us a ginormous Valentine's card for our front lawn. I can't for the life of me remember who put the potatoes in our car tailpipes.

I always wondered why a sorority would want to randomly (not for special occasions) bring a fraternity homemade cookes, raise money for THEIR philanthropies (which seems different than a co-sponsored event), or rake THEIR lawn.
That sounds like much more than just having friends in other GLOs and having a bond with another GLO or chapter.

Yeah different concepts of "nice." That screams something other than "nice" to me.

I see those things as about more than doing something for somebody without ulterior motives.
But, the theme of GC this week is: YKINMK.

Why? Are you that suspect of people?
Is it less weird that we did a rake-n-run with Delta Zeta involving random peoples' lawns, rather than fraternity houses?

Because different group cultures and campus cultures call for different things.

No. That's even stranger than raking a fraternity's lawn.
Not everyone wants randoms to rake their lawn.

I agree with you. I wouldn't appreciate people trampling my lawn. I recently saw an event where GLOs got together to rake the lawns of elderly residents as a service to the community. But, the residents had given prior consent.
