Late last night, students reported seeing a group of pranksters turning the Omega Psi Phi sorority pool into a swirling vat of grape Kool-Aid.
According to witnesses, a pack of brothers gathered just after sundown, joking about disguises, sharing a joint, and waiting for a suspiciously large delivery of powdered drink mix. Once the crates arrived, the group armed themselves with pocket knives and butcher blades, tearing open box after box.
They were later spotted sprinting toward Omega’s pool, ripping open packets and dumping them in with reckless enthusiasm. Within minutes, the water shifted from its usual blue to an artificial purple haze. One prankster was overheard saying, “It’s not pool water anymore,” after daring to taste it. Another quipped that the Kool-Aid might last the campus two years if not diluted in chlorinated water.
Witnesses described the scene as chaotic but oddly celebratory — with laughter, hair-ruffling, and even mock debates about proper “stealth attire.” The prank concluded with the group scattering quickly, leaving behind empty boxes, footprints stained violet, and a pool better suited for a giant punch bowl than a swim meet.
As of this morning, Omega has not issued a statement, though Facilities crews were seen assessing the damage and muttering about “sticky chlorine.”
