I found some amusing antics about the Order of PI here.

Common Misconceptions About the Order

We pie people against their will
Anyone slated for a pie in the face is first approached and given ample opportunity to express their aversion to a pie in the face. Nobody gets pied against their will: That would be assault.

We throw pies through the air
We have never thrown a pie at anyone: The pie is firmly but gently placed into the face of the condemned.

We waste perfectly good food
The dubious food value of synthetic cream pies aside, the Order of Pi does not encourage the throwing out of any used pies: We employ a pie catcher lined with a hygenic plastic bag to catch all falling pie during the execution, and this bag is given to the condemned to take home. Most people won't admit it, but they do eat the pie later when no one is looking. I did not eat the pie!

We pie people for revenge
All prospective orders placed during the annual charity drive are carefully screened to ensure that the Accuser is a friend of the person to be pied, that this person posesses the sense of humor necessary to be amused by the concept. We insist that the accuser provide us with charges so that we can ensure that the motive for the pieing is fun and not spite. Anonymous pieings and venomous or hurtful accusations are forbidden by the laws of the Order of Pi, and any order that breaks this criteria is not taken.

We play pranks at the expense of the public
Ah... That would be UBC, not UVic. We've never figured out how to dismantle Volkswagons like they can. We just raise money for the children's hospital and a foundation for the physically and mentally challenged, and leave the high rise acrobatics to them.
