Party with no girls

#1 08-02-2009, 05:45 PM

We are looking to have a party during girls rush, so there will be no/not many girls at the party. Does anyone have any ideas that would be good for a theme of that kind of party?

The best one i have heard is an AA party where everyone wears, Hello my name is.. name tags.

Poker Night/ Vegas Night- poker tables and cigars
ESPN - wear a jersey, you can also cook out tailgate type food
Around the world- offer different types of beverages from different places. Bonus if someone can get through all of them without getting sick.

1.) The word is WEAR not WHERE.
2.) Do a search. There are probably about 6000 threads about rush parties.

An "AA" party? Someone might find that offensive. I get it, but others might not.

You could have the theme be "Registered Sex Offenders and Children."

That way, on the off chance a girl ever showed up, she'd pull a U-turn at the door.

Dumb question, but is this party going to get guys who are potentially rushing your fraternity? Are you looking at it sort of as a way to recruit guys?

and yes there will be some girls, but maybe 1 for every 10 guys, so we just can't have something like 'heaven and hell' or pros and hoes. and non-greek girls are allowed at any party, its just that we usually dont have many gdi's of any kind. They normally stay to themselves, but they do come out a lot during rush it seems since the greeks are busy and there are new people at the college.

oh and i must say, i laughed at the picture too, great post

Don't use those themes, they were old in 1999 and now it is 2009. Parties don't require themes, and a crappy party is a crappy party regardless of a theme and t-shirt.

14 threads of party themes. Just take the girl factor out of them. The one in the LXA forum would probably be useful.

And I laughed incredibly hard when I saw the picture 33girl :P

I mean, only one suggested objectification of women.

IFC asks for a name for the party when it being registered. They don't allow "gangster" parties...for the objectification reasons...even though "gangster" really doesn't necessarily any specific type of person. I'm pretty sure there was alot of Italian gangsters for those parties. But most people get around that sort of thing by simply naming it something else on the application sheet.

A theme isn't required for a party...really. But it's just standard fare at the University of Arkansas. The only parties that aren't themed are just hall parties that the University doesn't know about.

The fact that IFC (pressure from University Administration?) requires a theme is what is interesting to me as they are adding something extra beyond registration and saying "hey we're having a party." If people are naming it something else on the sheet then it seems pointless to require a theme or have rules about it. Granted even without an unimaginative title the same costumes will be worn, so it seems so extra for something that is ineffective as prevention.

Not that anyone can keep anything secret as someone always posts it on Facebook these days.

ETA: I'm owning my righteous indignation against crappy themes since I never participated in them. I will admit going to one fraternity party that had a sex/lingerie theme as a friend invited me and I was going to say hello and then meet my boyfriend. It was cold outside and I had on jeans, boots, and a North Face fleece, and the party pics were hysterical as a few women from another chapter were dressed similarly and the other women in the photos appeared to have come straight from a Frederick's of Hollywood catalog shoot. There were police calls that night about prostitutes and strippers walking the streets from concerned town residents. I also would like to point out the contradiction of the poster asking for themes as he made a point of saying in a Greek Life forum thread men in The South treated women as Southern Belles and no Southern Gentleman I have ever met or associated with would ask me to a party or throw one where I had to dress like a prostitute. Granted these men have interacted with me outside of The South for the most part, but my Idaho boys think it is distasteful as well as they have mothers and sisters they respect.

I digress but as I've mentioned before I've gone to parties with themes that are executed well, so I'm not against themes, just against crappy overplayed themes (says the woman who made an oven out of a cardboard box and went to an Authors party as Sylvia Plath and her date was Sherman Alexie).

vandalsquirrel, i hope that you were the social chair of your chapter!!

croakies, could you host a party at wings and things-i believe it is a national chain-or at a local place where wings, beer and billiards, foosball, etc. could be provided?

i would think that rushees would feel uncomfortable with having to wear a costume to their very first fraternity rush party. of course, if only the bros. and the gdi hoes are wearing costumes, then the rushees will be easy to spot!
