I mean, it's just for fun, but it just seems as if that is playing on bad sterotypes. What do others think??? Have we gotten so P.C. on campus that things like the KA's "Old South" party and the ever popular "Screw your Roommate" party are wrong? What do you think?  |
Well, i went to a non-greek pimps and hoes party and it was really boring- mostly due to it's uncreative atmosphere. but a lot of people have been giving a lot of shocked responses. Parties are all in good fun, and yes, where they may seem rather disrespectful, it's just another reason to get dressed up and add another element to a party. Yet, any way you look at it, any theme could be considered disrespectful. My sorority just had a Shipwrecked party, where we all dressed up as Pirates or sailors (fitting for Delta Gamma) or characters from Lost or Gilligan's Island, etc etc etc. People could somehow find this disrespectful because we're portraying bloodthirsty theives. But it's a costume party. Yes, there's other ways to go around the "bad" connotation such as maybe a "Saint's and Sinner's" party (so those who DON'T want to be pimps and/or hoes don't HAVE to be) or something along that line. My best suggestion is give your party a vauge theme so guests can have more options in dressing up. That way, thier creativity makes the party much more fun. Another good idea, though not as vauge, would be a "Millionaire's and Trophy Wives" party. Not as trashy, but just as fun to dress up for. hope my 2 cents helped y'all
