Party Themes for Sorority/Fraternity Mixers/Switches - Page 8

An annual social we do with one of the fraternities is Boxer Bash. One year, we buy boxers, the guys buy pizza and drinks. The next year, we switch the responsibilities. If it's our turn to buy boxers, our social chair gets a list from the frat's social chair with the size of boxers each guy wants. The two chairs pair us up, and we get only the size of boxers. We buy matching boxers for us and the guy, and give the guy's to our social chair, who gives the boxers to their social chair (with the guys' names on the corresponding boxers). The night of the social, everyone keeps their boxers covered until the revealing. You do a little strip show to find out who you boxer buddy is, and you're with that person through the rest of the social. We get divided up into relay teams, and the losing team(s) pay for the alcohol. Sounds complicated, but always a lot of fun. We've even done to the bars in our boxers afterwards too.

Another we did with a fraternity and sorority at another campus was a Halloween mixer. Our Social chairs grouped us so there was one member from each house in a group, and since we were from different schools, all we got was a name and phone number. As a group, you had to have a theme to your Halloween costumes: nerds, TJ, superheroes, exterminator&insects (that was my group, and we won). Winning group got a handle that they didnt have to share, everyone else had only the keg. Then as a group, we all went out into Isla Vista in our costumes.

Also:
-Speed "Getting to Know You"
-Mafia
-Black&White Ladies Night
-Black&Red Ladies Night
-Scarlet Night
-White Affair
-Masquerade Ball (gotta wear a mask... could even make them as you're coming in)
-Ghetto Drive In (get a projector, set it up on the side of the house, pull your trucks up with the beds facing the wall. bring out a few couches too)
-Movie Night (rent a movie where they say one word repeatedly, last one to raise their hands has to take a shot. sober version: last one to raise their hands gets a truth or dare. Surf's Up [Big Z] and 300 [Sparta] work well. works best with smaller groups)

Obviously the original poster is no longer looking for suggestions, but here are my favorites from years past (some of them were from other sororities and I was just jealous of their themes):
* It Used To Be Cool
* I Got if for $10 (Your whole outfit had to total $10)
* Party Animals (everybody was an animal...some of the guys were hilarious and picked the most obscure animals)
* New Years (nice dresses and everybody went crazy at midnight)
* P is for Party (everybody dresses up as something with the letter P)
* You Are What You Drink (interpret drinks into costumes)
* Sin City (everybody interpreted Vegas hotels)
* I Love the 90s
* Get In The Game (boardgames, sports, whatever)

These are excellent.

we did a "rescue me" party, where you can be a nurse, cop, firefighter, or even a super hero... pretty sweet

Ok, so this one is kinda weird, but it turned out hysterical. Last year, we had a mixer with a fraternity and they suggested we do a Noah's Ark party. The fraternity prez dresses up as Noah and the sorority prez dresses up as mrs. Noah and then all the rest of the members dress up as animals. If you want, you can coordinate to be in pairs with someone from the opposite house, this turned out really funny, the pictures are great!
Other ideas:
-Represent your state
-Famous Lovers
-Flash 'n Trash (flashy/trashy)
-Tacky Wedding

we recently had a Headbanger's Ball with ΘΞ. it was a lot of fun, we played rock band. we all seperated off into "bands" and we tried to see what band could get the highest score. we wore band t-shirts and "rocker" gear. we all listened to rock music and it was a lot of fun!

We've had a Mathletes vs Athletes party :-) We all dressed up as jocks or nerds, and then we had different competitions (like nerds vs jocks in flip cup, shot gun races, etc.)... At the end of the night the "team" (nerds or jocks) that won, got something... Our "prize" was to not clean up :-) It definately got everyone comptetive considering we had upwards of 150 people between our sorority and their fraternity...

Robots was one we just had last Friday (8 days ago)... You dress like a robot! Some guys donned cardboard boxes with horizontal glow sticks on their chest... I personally went as a FemBot from Austin Powers... One guy dressed up as Arnold Schwartenager (Terminator)... A girl went as Rosie from the Jestons cartoon... A ton of people went out and bought a roll of aluminum foil...

Lets see, we've also had the regular socials: toga, gangsta, biker/trashy wedding, 70s, Guys&Dolls, GolfPros and Tennis Hoes, Heaven and Hell, Luau, Stop Light, Beer Pong in your PJs (Beer pong championship w/ brackets), WTF are you Wearing? (mismatch), Cocktail, Black and White TV (some one wore a black and white smoking robe), Fast Times at _____ High (We used McComas since its the name of our greek row), In the Army, Cowboys and Indians, Ugly Sweater, Famous Couples...

There's more, I just can't think of them right now... I'm a junior (finally) and we have consistantly had 1 every other friday since I signed my bid back in Fall of 2006... We have had a TON of them, and we haven't repeated any themes... except 80s I think...

Black and white party - kind of a 50's themed party. everyone dresses up in black and white.

Jersey party- wear a sports jersey, play athletic games all night.

Anything BUT clothes party- You get really creative. I saw a lot of people just wearing bandanas and towels. a couple girls wore candy wrappers. One girl wore a pillow case wrapped in condoms. it was a lot of fun...haha

level party - every floor of the house has a designated drink and a designated game to play.

Military party - Dress up like military. Couple guys were the generals who told people to do push-ups. If they refuse or cannot do the push-ups they have to take the mine field shot ( 6 shots 3 are water and 3 are vodka, mixed up but you have to drink them all in 30 seconds)

Can't Be On Unless It's NEON

PRO Party (dress up like something that starts with pro...)

Prohibition (1920s)

When I grow up...

Some good parties at my school:
-one of our frats had a beach party and actually covered the floor with tarps and put playground sand down.. you could bulild sandcastles in the house which was freaking cool
- another frat had a heaven and hell party.. basically you dressed as an angel or a devil, simple but fun
-we had a paint war swap with a fraternity... we all wore old clothes and went out in a field and had water balloon fights with balloons filled with paint

hope this helps!

These ideas are all really good. I wanted to do a theme party for recruitment and had no ideas. Now I have way too many ideas.

pshsx1 · #14 06-12-2009, 04:36 AM

My favorite mixer in the Fall was the Wine and Cheese Mixer. We made a bunch of food for ourselves and the girls present and it gave us a chance to get to know the sorority better. Then, after dinner was over, the boxes and bottles came out. It really is amazing watching people chug Franzia and play wine pong.

Some other things we, or other orgs, have done are:
Stoplight Party (which followed a hockey game)
Mini Skirt Party
Purple Passion (Sigma Pi's very purple and very 70's themed party)
St. Patty's Day Party (or according to the fliers this year, 'St. Paddy's Day')
Blacklight Party
Anything Goes But Clothes
Graffiti Party
Tie One Off Party (everyone wears goofy ties)
Sunglasses at Night (for some reason it was a big hit haha)
Saturday Night Thunder (eventually became an ongoing thing. It involved AC/DC's Thunderstruck.. er, Thunderfucked quite often)
Cookie Wrench Party (I have yet to figure out wtf this theme meant)
Sigma Pi Pig Roast (Sigma Pi buys 2 pigs and grills all of it--AMAZING)
Big/Little with Apple Cider and Donuts (I didn't attend b/c it wasn't my Big/Little, but I heard it was a great time and they had a bunch of stuff to do like lawn games and bobbing for apples. There was also a bonfire)
Speed Dating (within the fraternity and with the sororities.. haha. For the sororities, we took them out to Buffalo Wild Wings afterward)
Heartbreaker Party (for everyone who was dateless on V-Day. Of course, not a huge turn out but extremely fun)
Miketoberfest (was a brother's birthday but fun nonetheless. Started with Octoberfest in Downtown Detroit, then festivities, then a hockey game, and then more festivities. Great fun as well)
Christmas Party (This one gets ridiculous. Every guy brings a date and every guy has a Secret Santa. The presents, which are that person's favorite beverage (one of my bros got 8 24 packs of DP!!), are called out by Mrs. Claus (one of our brothers). Then, the gift receiver sits on either Santa's, the Reindeer's, or the Elf's lap and each character has different instructions when people offer them things. Also there's lots of food and an amazing punch. And of course, everyone had to wear a tacky holiday sweater. I have never seen more horrible articles of clothing!)
Hollywood Party
Bass Pros and Summer Hoes
GI Joes and Army Hoes
Halloween Party (there were a lot of cool events during the week leading up to it)
70's Skate Party (held at a skating rink. It was hosted by a fraternity and open to everyone but maily catered to the sororities and the girls apparently had a good time)

That's all I can think of.
