So, basically, what you have here is a bunch of students, a bunch of costumes, a lot of goofy acting and a tradition of "pranking" one tour group at the school every year. Well organized, well filmed, pretty funny and the entire group singing the fight song at the end really wraps it all up. I'd have to give them an A+.

funny, well done, and precisely the kind of thing that gives administration gray hair.

It's great. It would make any other visit those kids went on look like a waste of their time.

That's another example of tradition that LU really needs for school pride.

maybe its the old hag in me talking- but do you suppose there is potential for a backlash of sorts from the parents' perspective after seeing this type of behavior? IE: "I'm not spending MY money on an institution that allows that kind of behavior in the middle of a structured school outreach program."

as a prospective student, its hilarious
as a parent, try to pretend its an institution of higher learning, at least until the adults are gone!

:oldhag

I'm thinking that would've resulted in a TON of reps down on the mt.

live action remakes of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, ninja attacks, a guy with anger managment issues beating the crap out of every student he met, Mario Bros, James Bond, scuba divers randomly emerging from a pond and walking around, Arabs acting suspiciously, computer nerd meltdown in the middle of the library, a weird 70's/80's style rave, insane mimes, two "olympic" athletes in a wading pool, multiple stuffed animal/mascots randomly appearing and wreaking havoc (including tieing a baby to a bunch of balloons and airlifting him out of a stroller) and some wacky French chefs dinner theater.

that about covers it.

imagine that for 30 minutes, disrupting every stop along what appeared to be an official campus tour.

the parents looked genuinely confused.

I'm scared to watch this. I refuse to. I can't get kicked out of school a little over a year from graduation. I just can't.

You underestimate me.


I pulled off Kristen Hutchens by myself in less than a week.

watch this, and see how many people were involved...and you'll agree with me....trust me

though that was pretty cool how you pulled that off...but this is just way, way over the top and needs tons of participation, from a ton of people...but hey, if you decide to give it a try...it wouldn't take much to recruit me

So far, through the Charlie and the Chocolate Factory thing, I could do it.

I could do this on a smaller scale. Our campus doesn't have all of the things they do.


I'd get too many reps though. Some RA would see us goofing off and write us up for horseplay.

horseplay is what 4 reps?? thats 10 bucks well spent in my opinion

I take things too far though.


Mine would involve a paintball fight, some kid getting hit by a car, a gay guy getting arrested, and someone falling off a scooter. And that's just what I thought of in 5 seconds.

They have a real fight song. What a novel concept.


And their students know the words.







The big difference in that happening at JMU and that happening here is that they had the "blessing" of the administration. We'd never get that here.

we could do a few things, but i agree that we would get reps for a lot of that stuff. still, it would be hilarious if we did something.
funny things we did to CFAW.... we were threatened to keep our clothes one because they are under 18 and we could be sued... so we went another direction.
one guy acted gay and hit on them the whole weekend. it was hilarious. they were freaking out

How much of what you saw would get reps? I couldn't really see any of that being all that bad...

Among other things I loved the students passing out fliers with the tour guide's face on the paper... "don't trust this person"

By the book? Not too many.

However, there are RA's that would write us up for horseplay, disrespectful to authorities, out of dress code (Speedo's, SCUBA), etc.

Also, if we were to try to get on the roof of some buildings, we'd get in an insane amount of trouble. Those kids were allowed to get on the roofs of some of those buildings.
