Every fraternity member knows this one...

My father's fraternity especially... they led a cow up several stories to someone's room... in the late 50s (no elevator)... it was not possible to get it out alive. I won't describe it any further, except to say the cafeteria served steak later that week.

It was about 1952 - nobody was going to put forth that much effort for a cow. As it was, it was removed through a window... in parts... as the whole animal wouldn't have fit.
