My alma mater (Georgetown) actually had quite a few school-wide dances.
The most famous is "Dip Ball" short for "Diplomat's Ball." Basically, the School of Foreign Service sponsors it every year and invites all of the diplomats in Washington to attend. I never went because tickets were so expensive.
I think the second most popular ball is the Homecoming Ball. I attended my Freshman and Junior years, and it was sponsored by the Program Board.
There was Charity Ball, which benefits a few community service groups at school.
Senior Ball happens the night before graduation in the Great Hall at Union Station.
I'm not sure, but I think that in the past few years, the other schools at the University have jumped on the Ball (hehehe)....I know for sure that there is a College Ball (Arts and Sciences)...there may have been a Nurses Ball and a Business Ball, too.
Lots of balls, you say? Well, my school didn't have a Greek system, so there were more school-sponsored social outlets.
