The PPO was founded in the 1950’s as a spirit group at varsity sport games. Over the 1970's to 80's pranking started to become a new trademark of the PPO. Pranks escalated to some very extravagant ones such as painting the arts dome orange, stealing the gorilla from the Redpath Museum and replacing all the front covers of the McGill Daily. The PPO's final and most infamous prank was unbolting all 800 seats in the Leacock 132 auditorium. This led to 10% of McGill's lectures being canceled and the EUS being sent a bill of $1003.95 (over $4000 in today's currency). Shortly after the prank the PPO was disbanded. | The PPO was founded in the 1950’s as a spirit group at varsity sport games.

The PPO has remained an active group within the EUS, promoting engineering culture at McGill events. From hosting rowdy day, the final Blues Pub of the semester, to loonie lines the PPO has strived to provide for those less fortunate while engaging in fun and spirited events. The PPO always encourages those who are not members to participate in their events, as everyone is able to help in some way. | The PPO has remained an active group within the EUS, promoting engineering culture at McGill events.
