My friend Aaron made a big stink about it at Dartmouth almost a decade ago.
If you ask me, I think themed parties as a whole are dumb. I went to my share when I was a collegian and made fun of it the whole time. They tend to be cheesy and embarassing and so not worth my time.  |
Thanks for this insight. I really do appreciate it.
