Here's the issue. Politics and society's interpretations have become so granular that people are too paranoid to have fun. If the intention of the party is to have fun then it should be held as long as it's kept in a controlled atmosphere external from the eye of criticism. The Fraternity or Sorority, both organizations comprised of selective membership, charged with the task of planning the event should make sure that all members attending are ok with the event. If your school is being constantly monitored by the media or critics you may even want to have people sign disclaimers ahead of time and keep a guest list at the door so that you can filter out any potential issues. On a more extreme case take the underground sex society featured on the movie "Eyes Wide Shut" for example. The guidelines were intended to be monitored carefully and controlled. Each member that attended the event, during the ritual scene, at the mansion knew the circumstances, risks, events, and knowingly engaged the event in a controlled environment. Having sex isn't against the law nor is it "Proper" according secular organizations and other belief systems. But the point is that all who participated knew what they were doing and willingly attended an event. As long as the Pimps and Hos party is carefully managed who cares what outside influences think. If you aren’t disrespecting anyone and a collective group of participants are cool with it then roll with it. You can bypass any red tape as long as there’s good strategy and implementation.
