Jail on top of Neils?



This week has been a crazy week for Phi Kappa Psi (one of the 9 fraternities on campus). This is the week of Phi Psi 500, a philanthropy event benefiting the Boys and Girls Club of America. All week (Monday through Friday) from 8am to 5pm, sororities are chasing the Phi Psi boys trying to tag them. Freshman Phi Psis are worth 5 points, Sophomores - 10 points, Juniors - 15 points, Seniors - 20 points, and the 2 Phi Psis of the Day (they switch each day)are worth 100 points. The sororities are competing against each other to win the most points. Also, if the Phi Psis get tagged, they either have to go to their "jail" (constructed out of 2x4s) or pay a dollar. Each night there is also an event. 1st place gets 300 points, Second 200, and 3rd 100 points. Last night's event was tug-of-war, and tonight's is a date auction. This morning, when walking outside, I noticed the Phi Psi jail was missing. Last year that happened as well, and it was found located on top of the VU Center for the Arts (VUCA), this year it was on top of Neils Science Center though, and the campus police were trying to figure out how to get it down. I'm wondering how it even got up their in the first place, seeing as the jail is not light. Getting it down is tough, but getting it up their is worse. Good luck girls on tagging and tackling more Phi Psis!
