well, what about the party that DTD threw? "Mekong Delta?" what about that? did anyone think that was a racist party? the guys dressed up as GI's and the girls dressed up as vietnamese hookers. is that racist or ignorant? or what about the delta sigma phi and beta theta pi party at auburn where members dressed up in blackface and KKK garb and made fun of the Ques? or is it all in innocent, good fun?

It's easy. Just get a wide hat, lime green suit, and a cane!

WTF, have folks lost all creativity when it comes to party themes???? I mean, they do sell books that cater specifically to party themes, backgrounds, etc.

I thought greeks (or maybe its just in BGLO culture) were considered role models and a "cut above"?

Do you think your founders would approve of party themes such as the ones above or is it keeping with the organizations core values and mission?

***shaking head*****

i share your sentiments honeykiss.

Goodwill, Salvation Army, or any Thrift Store.

White Trash Trailer Bash = wife beater t-shirts

We have pictures somewhere of the founders of our chapter involved in a Pimp's & Ho's party and other parties of this sort....so YES I'm sure they would have no problem with us having this type of party. It's all about having fun.

When I find a picture from one of our parties I will definitely post it. I think I have one with a guy in a lime green suit and a guy in a purple suit with his fiancee (one of my sisters). It is hilarious

I know that some fraternities have a "Pimps and Ho's" party. Some brothers want to bring it up to my chapter to have one, but I think that is it disrespectful, and kinda racist.

Let's face it, the guys probably want to have this kind of party so that the women will dress sexily. I remember in the Bridget Jones movie, they called it a "Vicars and Tarts" party.

I don't have a problem if people want to dress up and look sexy - that's fine. However, I have to say, that I really do not like the word "whore" (i.e. "ho")...I think whore is about the ugliest word you can call a woman, it is up there with the C-word.

Have a sexy dress party, just call it something else, other than "Pimps and Hoes".

I have heard of people using the themes "shorties and 40's" or "players ball" as an alternative. I actually think pimps and hoes is a little extreme. What would the t-shirt look like? It is kind of funny though.

We had a mixer with Phi Delt called "Rags to Ritches" It was great! I really had the best time. Some people had on hillbilly type clothes and some had evening gowns. It went really well. I wore a polo dress with a sweater around my shoulders, pearls, a head band, and brighton sandals. I was the "country club type. I just wanted to suggest that because it went really well!

Wife beater t-shirts? i guess a stereotype is in the eye of the beholder....

Anyway, as stated earlier, I do not understand why you would want to associate your letter or orgs with something called those party themes listed earlier. Someone mentioned a party called "Players Ball", which I think is a better name for those that want to throw a "sexy party" (courtesy of CutiePie2000

).

Whole different Greek culture Honeykiss.

BGLO's could NEVER, EVER, EVER get away with a party like that. It wouldn't be dignified, and we wouldn't put our name on it.

That said, I personally see nothing wrong if a purely social GLO wants to have one. I've been to a pimps and hos party, and it was basically a costume party. Innocent fun I tell ya.

Just not something that I would want my Sorority affiliated with in any way.

AOX81 · #26 06-07-2002, 02:47 PM

Here is a few pictures of a few of my friends at a Halloween party. The guy was dressed as a pimp and one of my sorority sisters with him in the picture (his fiancee) was actually part of a group of girls who came as one of the girls from the Moulin Rouge video you see on MTV. If you look down further you can see the Christina wannabe.

By the way I'm the one with the blond afro

What is the difference between a Pimp's & Ho's Party and Halloween??? Are you telling me that you have never been to a Halloween party where people went way overboard on their costume?

Lighten up people, don't try to ruin things that others think is fun.

Ideal08 · #27 06-07-2002, 02:57 PM

I've never heard of a Pimps and Hoes party!!! That is just hilarioius!!!! But I agree with what's been said about the name, change it. I (the AKA) definitely wouldn't throw it. There's no way. No way.

White Trash Trailer Bash????? WTF? And you wear a wife beater? Everyone? Now this is STR8 out of control right here, lol.

This is hilarious, please, share some more!!!! I guess my school was kinda conservative. I'm feelin a little left out right about now, lol.

People were asked for an opinion, and they're going to give one. If you don't agree then disagree but no one is going to censor the opinion they were asked for because it might make you feel guilty.

Last time I checked I thought I did disagree and I thought I did give my opinion. What the hell would I feel guily for?

I didn't ask your organization to throw this sort of party and I didn't tell them to stop having them...so what is the problem? What I meant my comment is that people shouldn't jump down other people's backs because of a type of party that they throw. Every organization is different...

Well, the tame version is quite simple. You just invite a date for your roommate (can't be their girlfriend or boyfriend), and vice versa. Now, there are varying themes on this, some not so nice, which I will not comment on

But a fun variation of this is a "suitcase party". What this is that all the house members contribute money and buy two airline tickets to a weekend getaway (for us, somewhere like L.A. or Reno or even Las Vegas). Then, during the party, there is a drawing, and the lucky couple has to leave RIGHT AWAY for the trip!!! It can be kinda fun for a weekend diversion, and if the person you're with is the adventuresome type, it's not so bad...
