The only problem is the climate is soooooooo PC if the fraternities do anything remotely insensitive they are in hot water. My fraternity never got in trouble for anything but 20 years ago it was kicked off campus for cutting down a tree from the experimental ag quad nursery and using it for an x-mas party. The professor was invited to the party and when he saw his tree he freaked, he was told he would get it back but we burned it. That an many other stunts of harassment, vandalism, and theft cost our house its charter for 8 years until it was reactivated.

I know snother guy at another fraternity that got accused of sexual harassment because they were throwing snowballs at passerbyers. When one woman complained, one guy sai "nice p---y". Instant sexual harassment.

That all being old history, yeah it would be funny for some fraternities to pull a prank. One of the most annoying things at Cornell was April being Gay Month. A whole Friggin' month of chalk message scrawled everywhere. "April flowers bring Gay Showers" and " If you are gay, wear your blue jeans tomorrow". The best response I ever saw were chalked messages, "Faggots and Dykes and BIs OH MY!"

Holy CRAP! That story is LEGEND!!! You in that house?!?!

Cool.

On a more serious note, let's face facts: the University would like nothing more than to wipe the frats out. They are not sufficiently "politically correct," and the only, THE ONLY, reason that CU hasn't eradicated them yet is because there are too many alumni with too much money around whom would be PO'd if Cornell succeeded. So instead the adminstration slowly but surly trumps up more and more charges that allow them to regulate and/or revoke the charters of more and more houses.

The best "sidewalk art" I ever saw was in front of an MIT dorm. It was a chalk outline of a person with a smashed calculator in its hand.
