Well you gotta remember too that most houses at W&L, even the top ones, are fairly small by bigger school's standards. The sororities are large (100-130, maybe even more now), but the fraternities tend to be around 40 members because there are 13-15 of them (depending on risk management and who's been kicked off and such) at any one time and with ~ 220 freshman guys to choose from, all the houses are pretty small, even the top ones. So all the houses are extremely tight.
To clarify it was a huge band party and it was insane. And most of the houses had a theme party or two per semester as well. It was a really good party. They just picked a random name for a band party, basically. At least I thought it was, and I didn't really like this fraternity a lot. W&L is like the big southern schools in that all the decent parties are band parties. And there are like 3 or 4 every weekend night. So there is a lot going on. In recent years various administration risk policies have forced many of the parties out of the fraternity houses and into off campus houses (with the top tier groups moving out of the houses and out of the town center first), but that's a whole other story.
