The Knighthood of BUH @ UTA
 
UTA Knighthood of BUH History and Pictures
  The UTA chapter of the Knighthood of BUH was created during the Fall Semester of 2002 in an attempt to provide a little comic relief to an uptight campus.  The following is a history of events held by the knighthood.

 First newspaper article in the Shorthorn.   This article basically describes who we are and what we do.  It helped to bring a little attention to us before we held our first event.

The first event held by the UTA chapter of the Knighthood of BUH was the brick and spoon promotion.  We managed to give out 62 bricks and spoons.  This event didn't really have a point other than to entertain people.  We just gave bricks and spoons to those passersby willing to accept them.

The theme of our Kludzüken was "The Great Depression."  For those who don't know, a Kludzüken is a party held by a new chapter in which all other chapters are invited to attend.  The party also contains some comedic theme.

Seeing that we have no dues we decided that we would raise a few bucks by having a fundraiser.  We had to devise some theme for the fundraise that ensure we made money yet would still reveal something of the nature of our organization.  We finally agreed upon the "Special" Brownie Sale in which we would give people the impression that the brownies contained marijuana.  We also sold bags of oregano as marijuana.  We were sort of hoping to get arrested or at least questioned by the UTAPD but nothing really happened.  We ended up making a few bucks which were spent on hot dogs for the Kick-a-Dog Day.

The last event of our first semester as  an organization was Kick-a-Dog Day.  The biggest part of this event was the promotion.  We handed out lots of fliers, posted several 1 page fliers and 3 large banners around campus.  The idea was to get people angry and draw attention to our organization.  The event went over quite well.  We ended up making our first enemy, PAWS and there's bound to be more in the future.  This was our first newspaper article reviewing an actual event.

For the UTA student activities we decided to pose our organization as the UTA Masturbation Team.  Even though the event was thrown together at the last minute it went over quite well.  We were attempting to get people to sign up to try out for the team.  Some people didn't get that it was a joke and looked at us like we were sick, a couple of people didn't get it and were very eager to sign up however.  We managed to offend, disgust or amuse everyone who walked by.  We took several pictures before the event  of us during a competition including one with us in front of the "team van" with our pants around our ankles.  However, we didn't have enough time to print them out for the event.

The Chinese Fortune Condom event went ok.  The biggest problem with it was the work it took to stuff a condom with a fortune, inflate, and tie up.  We were too busy to actually enjoy the event like we should have.  Another problem is that the condoms we used broke very easily when the serrated edge of the condom wrapper inside hit it just right.  However, people walking by still seemed to enjoy the event and it gave us some public exposure.

For Valentine's Day we took U.T. Austin's idea for insulting Valentines and expanded it.  We came up with many new cards, for a total of 22 different Valentines.  The cover of the cards of course gave the impression of a polite gesture.  We received numerous responses along the lines of "Aww,  that's so sweet."  Then as we walked away they would open it up and shout "Aww, that's so mean."  I think the guys, in general, liked getting the Valentines from the chicks.  But the female response to them was not always so positive.  After handing them out to the UTA cheerleaders, one cheerleader replied by saying, "Why are you being so creepy?"  All in all it was a great event, most in the Knighthood agreed that it was the best Valentine's Day ever.
