How about initiations for when you got engaged? My husband was tied to a lamppost in the middle of our main quad, covered in shaving cream, and wouldn't let him go until I came out and kissed him.

The "initiation" at Northland for engaged couples was to throw them into the camp lake. Engaged students were basically fair game at any time. I remember guys being carried out of class. Some gave in and just took it, but there were a couple guys who fought the mob all the way to the dock, and took people in with them. My roommate promised us a pizza party if we could help keep her out of the lake. The dean of women got thrown in (very early spring!) and seemed to be a good sport about it, but shortly after that the initiation was forbidden.

Similarly to Jenni, I once hid in one of the cupboards above the closet and scared one of my roommates to death. She had been reading books on demons and was a little jumpy. I started tossing books out of the cupboard when she was turned around, and she freaked out and ran through the hall looking for someone to come be with her in the room. She finally opened up the cabinet and I screamed, and she screamed and it was great fun.

Seems like we had a rubber severed arm that would get tossed into showers or hidden in someone's bed every once in a while.

Taking your roommate's stuff while they were in the shower was practically a test of character, and I don't know anybody who didn't have it happen to them.

One of my friends knocked over her roommate's set of hot rollers one time, knocking them all off their rods. She started to put them back but her roommate told her that each roller was numbered and had to go on a particular rod. This poor girl spent a good 15 minutes trying to read the numbers on the inside of each roller and trying to match it to the right rod.

Then there was the girl in our prayer group who spent way too long on the phone each night, talking to her boyfriend across campus. She usually crawled into the closet for privacy. Her roomies got so sick of it, they tied the closet doors shut one night with a pair of nylons, then left the room and put the Do Not Disturb sign up.

Not really a prank or a Fundy U story, but once at a camp meeting a bunch of guys jumped/hazed one of the guys who'd just gotten engaged (or maybe just got a girlfriend). The poor guy got his ribs broken. >_<

The best prank I was ever involved in was me and some friends bombed the welcome center/security HQ with water balloons one night after curfew. I had a first floor dorm room with no screen on the window, so that made for easy access. I didn't even get demerits for being out after curfew. The next year it was fixed with a new screen. Confused

I'm sure there were more that I just can't remember now, but my dorm had a lot of older guys and guys who worked late nights, so there wasn't a lot of time for horseplay. For that I am mostly thankful.

Here's the other half of the engagement hazing: my roommate had been in the Air Force, so she dressed me up in camo and painted my face and put a slip on my head, like a train on a wedding gown. We lived in a dorm that had 13 floors, so I got to sit in the elevator as we stopped at every floor for people to gawk. At the ground floor my hubby got to come over and kiss me.

They used to tell the freshmen they had to pay 'radiator' fees. Big Grin

Here's a few from HAC:
Replacing donut filling with hot mustard and red pepper to catch a donut thief.
Putting a couple of bras in an especially obnoxious preacher boy's laundry.
Putting live sunfish in the toilets.
Loading a milkshake with Exlax.
Filling padlocks with Epoxy.
(Incidently, there is also a rule against shooting fireworks out of dorm windows.)
Putting a poster of a fuzzy kitten on the door of a macho staff member.
Making pictures on a copier of a body builder in a thong with Dr. Hyles's face superimposed.

Similar to the "tie check" story, we told a visitor that we had "leg check" on the girls' side of campus. One of my roommates graciously (ahem) volunteered to refrain from shaving so that she be part of the prank. The visitor was in the room when another friend came in pretending to be the hall leader - she said, "Time for leg check, ladies!" and we all groaned and sat down to show her that we had shaved our legs. The hairy roommate burst into (very realistic) tears and was taken out for some "counseling."

I always wondered if that visitor actually chose to attend BJU. . .
