Yep.
1. It's past the point of cute and silly.
2. Who has time to stick hundreds of forks in a lawn?

It'll only take 2-3 minutes if you have 8-10 people doing it.

Exactly. Not only do the councils operate differently, but the greek systems on each campus do as well. I think as fellow greeks we need to respect that. I doubt you or DrPhil would appreciate a non member walking up to you and telling you that your traditions are stupid. The fraternity or sorority "prank" is something that may sound dumb to a non NIC/NPC member, but for some of us it is still a campus tradition. The fact that my chapter serenades all of the sororities every semester probably seems dumb as hell to a lot of people, but it's something we've always done and it's part of our culture.

Uhhh...miss us with this. Before knight_shadow and I entered the thread, the OP was being told that her prank idea was stupid.
Moreover, this isn't just about different conferences and councils. It is also about different campuses. And I frankly don't care what outsiders have to say about our traditions.

What is the point of a discussion board if it's not discussing things?
Y'all know I'm always trying to learn about different councils (and have through GC and outside sources). Serenading makes sense. Bid day/pledge presents/etc makes sense. Those sound like legitimate traditions. Putting forks in a lawn seems like a waste of time. And although the post has since been deleted, the idea of "forking" was foreign to someone else here.
If our words sway (general) you from practicing your traditions, they weren't that deep/serious to begin with.

My post wasn't necessarily about forking, it was about pranking in general. Saying that forking was a waste of time, or that raking was dumb, can be misinterpreted as you(general) thinking that the practice of pranking (or similar activities) in general is stupid or a waste of time.
