Several sororities get together & have a party called "White Trash" every year but I think that might be different this year too....hmmmm....
I've always wondered: Why do NPC/IFC groups tend to have theme parties centered around ethnic minority stereotyping? Is it not as much fun to just show up as you want and have a good time?

I've never been to or even seen a NPHC group have a 'Potato Famine Party' where we dress up as drunk Irish people in rags and the entrance 'code word' is to beg for food. Oh, I know, maybe because we have CLASS and respect the struggles of others!!!! And we know that you don't have to make fun of a group to have a good time!!!

For me, a good NPHC party is one where the DJ knows to play the best music and no matter who is sponsoring the party, all groups have a chance to get out there and strut.
