We didn't have the concept of Pimps and Hoes when I was an active, but this just seems to me to be an excuse to dress up and have some fun. Albeit, in a tasteless and stupid format.

I think that the idea of 'Comfy' is important here. When you share hours and days with people doing things like tying crepe paper to chicken wire and getting those awful cuts, then they become very human to you and the organizations tend to grow closer together, (which is the whole point, of course). I think that these types of groups can have fun at this kind of party, which would be inappropriate or even dangerous in other circumstances.

Recently, I was looking through some old albums and found two parties that we had years ago. One was a Roaring '20's theme, much like the KT/ZBT party on Greek. The girls dressed like flappers which meant short dresses and too much makeup. The other was a Pajama Party where some of the women wore baby dolls and some wore flannel. They felt at ease dressing like this in our house because they trusted us, so we all had a great time and got some good memories. They were Comfy with us.
