The people who want to attend these parties will go all out with costumes and have fun. Those who object won't attend. If the majority aren't attending, that's a sure sign your social chair is way off-course with her event ideas from the chapter's wants.
Also, if your social advisers signed the forms and approved this thing, it's a go.
As an alum, I think it isn't representing the Greek System in the best light, and there are other creative dress-up themes that are just as fun. However, I'm not gonna lie that the collegian that I was had a blast at these parties, whether they were approved socials under an assumed name or a party at someone's house off-campus.
A lot of current college student love the theme-- you get to dress all wild and racy-- what college student doesn't experiment with that at some point? I think that's an unconscious effect of dress-up mixer/socials.
So to summarize-- I get why college students love these parties, but as an older graduate I understand why it might be a good idea not to have them.
