What is a "screwed" mixer?
 

I was looking on a previous thread and I read that someone's favorite mixer was a "screwed" mixer. My question is what is a "screwed" mixer and how do I plan one?

Thanks

i'm guessing you are referring to a "screw your sister" party. basically, each sister draws another sister's name from a hat and that is the sister they have to find a date for. they can be really nice and invite a great guy for them or they can screw them and invite a guy they hate, thus the name of the party.

hmm....never heard of that description before. I've always known a screw party to be a mixer with a fraternity and a sorority - proir to the sorority showing up (mixers where I went to school almost always were at a fraternity house) all the fraternity would get a screw that was painted a certain color and/or designed a certain way. When the sorority would show up, each sister was given a nut that was painted to match one of the brothers' screws. The whole point was to try to find your match before the party ended.

i like that description. i've never heard of that one before. good idea. i think i'll try that.

I kind of like the 'invite someone she can't stand'
because there's an entire fraternity that i hate
but that's because the guys are hot but total asses

I thought this was a nut and bolt mixer. I could be wrong.
