College Pranks at Fundy U

[HazelEyed]

I used to be extremely good at prank calls and thinking on my feet, so my friends would always make me call guys they didn't like and ask convince them we were in a class together until they "remembered" me and then I'd try to get them to ask me out. I heard some of the funniest pickup lines. In retrospect it was probably fairly mean to straight up lie to these poor guys, and I feel sort of bad about it now, but at the time we thought it was hilarious. We'd use the dorm phone to call their dorm rooms. We also used to call random people we didn't know and leave random messages for them with a roommate. Good times.

Prank calling is the best! During my brief stay at PCC, I did the following:

1) My roommates and I (mostly me) would prank call guys' dorms and ask them out on dates. For the church dates, we asked them to meet us at the bell tower. We would call several guys (some we knew and some we didn't know) and have a group of guys waiting there on their date that never arrived. Yes, it was mean, but man it was hilarious. My dorm room overlooked the area where they were waiting, so we would look out our window and laugh and laugh.

2) PCC had Panhellenic (sp) mail that would be delivered at night. They shut off the phones between the guys and girls dorms at a certain time, so the only way to communicate was through PH mail. When it was my turn to empty the trash for room job, etc., I would put the trash in a bag and send it to some guy using PH mail. We also sent a bunch of weird love letters to strangers using PH mail. I eventually got caught doing this, although I really don't know how. I got in trouble for it, but I don't think I got demerits. The dean of women said she wasn't sure what to do because they had never dealt with someone like me before. That was fun.

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.

My sophomore year, we girls had to see this film on Satanism or whatever the heck it was in GLA. Afterward, my freshman roommate came back completely freaked out. I am left-handed and can write backwards, and she already thought that was weird enough. I wrote "do you think I'm demon-possessed?" backwards and handed it to her, which really made her lose it when she held up the paper to the mirror. After that, I pitched a tiny make-up sponge at her, and I wouldn't be surprised if her footprints are still on the ceiling. It was mean, but she always borrowed my stuff without asking (and even loaned it to her friends!), so I say we're even.

What was this? I don't remember.

Boy, you all make my days at a Catholic college where the floor I lived on had girls to the left, guys to the right sound downright tame. I think we were too busy sinning to think up of such creative pranks.

During my freshman year, one minute BEFORE lights-out, the next-door room ran into our room, pulled out our drawers, tossed the contents all over the room, then dashed back into their own room to leap into bed just as the bell rang. We were left with the dilemma of being OUT of bed cleaning when the hall monitor came by or staying in bed silently like we were supposed to but having the room look a MESS when she came by in a couple of minutes to see if we were all quietly in bed. (Writing this, I can barely believe this was COLLEGE.) Anyway, my roommate was irate, but I couldn't stop laughing because it was the excellent timing of the prank made it so very appropriate at BJU, even if I was the recipient. And we had a LOT of picking up to do the next morning before room-check.

To repay the neighboring room, we prepared kleenex powder bombs to throw in their room the next evening, but the hall monitor was watching and hollered at us as we tiptoed down the hall (during study time because we were trying to catch them off-guard) and my APC panicked and crashed back into us, then exploding the powder all over the hall and ourselves.

The only consequence was having to vacuum the hall and the galling knowledge that we never DID effectively pay back our dormmates!

I took coconuts and clanked them so loud the third floor heard me, I was riding to Camelot as I said.

I asked, what color pass is it to use the bathroom at 3am

dorm checks someone yelled sir yes sir

lemme seee, I skipped church for three weeks and had to sneak up and down the stair case for food.

I heard of some freshman being told they had to carry some form of liquid with them, which usually was glass cleaner or Dawn detergent. I also heard of one room that told their freshmen that you had to throw your ID cards out the window before going outside. The next day they were searching the bushes for their cards.

I'd forgotten about those horrible fire drills. Putting towels on our heads??!!! I felt SO STUPID!!! And since we were doing something incredibly stupid anyway, it was easy to believe anything else we were told to do. I'm pretty sure my older roommates told my freshman roomie and me to do something silly during our first fire drill; I've forgotten what it was now.

I hesitated on this one because I think a couple of the pranks will give me away.
Place: HAC
A friend and I put live catfish in the toilet of a particularly annoying dorm supe. Later we put catfish in the regular dorm toilets. (We caught the fish at the college's lake.)
Another time we filled the dean of women's office with shredded paper.

Ahh flagpoling sounds like we share the same alma mater. For those unfamilar with this initiation, it was a mock trail(kangaroo court) for violating the code of the bachelor. The trial would be conducted by his floormates, held before any of the student body that might be passing by. The guys from the floor acted as judge and jury, ususally had a prosecuting attorney, and sometimes a defense attorney(this one usually produced the most damning evidence). Once the guilty verdict was announced the guy would be covered in shaving cream. Onc thing that changed shortly before i got there was the shaving cream only rule, before that other liquids could be used, syrup, honey, jelly, ketchup, other condiments.

Two memorable ones while I attended, first one they got the guy at the end of the year at the yearbook chaple, had a captive audience of almost the entire student body. The second one the the rigged a harnees too him and had it look like he had a noose around his neck and had a rope going up to the windows of the thrid floor and made it look like a hanging after the guilty vedict.
