UNIVERISTY PARK, PA-- Early last week, Girl Scout Brenda McGillan roamed undetected across campus for nearly 45 minutes before returning to the dorm room she was assigned for the week. Brenda was in town for one of the many summer camps hosted at Penn State during the summer months, but you never would have known it by looking at her.

Brenda McGillan totally passed for a college student last week.

             Wearing a Penn State t-shirt and baseball cap, no one would have suspected that she was not, in fact, an actual Penn State student.

             Brenda fondly recalled the masquerade; “It was so cool. I walked the whole way from my dorm in Simmons to the end of campus and back and like, no one even noticed me. They totally thought I was a college student. It was awesome.”

             When asked what made her disguise so effective, Brenda replied “Well, the shirt and hat helped a lot, but I think the PSU lanyard I had around my neck with my key attached was, like, what really sealed the deal.” “I even said ‘hi’ to these two guys I walked by and then they said ‘Are you lost?’ I was totally like ‘Um, nope, I was just going to the, uh, library’ and they were like ‘um, yeah.’ They never suspected a thing! It was so cool!”

             However, Brenda’s ambitions of feigned maturity did not end at impersonating college students. Later in the week she donned a pair of high heels and attempted to enter a downtown bar. This enterprise was notably less successful, as she was promptly pepper sprayed, scolded, pepper sprayed some more, and then escorted back to her dorm room by State College police.
