This is also VERY true. Not all parties (fraternity or non) and bars/clubs (if you're allowed to be in the latter and not drink when you're 18) are created equal. There are some that just aren't going to be fun unless you're drinking like a fish, and there are some where you can be sober as a judge and still have an absolute blast. You have to get out there and see which ones are which, though, not just reject ALL of them from the start.

Agreed. Also, when you have themed mixers or whatever they're called these days, half the fun can be getting your outfits together beforehand.

This. And even if you're not going to the mixer/theme party, it can be fun to go to Goodwill/Walmart/whatever to try to find costumes with those who are going. It also gets more fun after freshman year when everyone isn't immediately defaulting to "sexy ____." Some of my costumes that were the biggest hits weren't attractive at all. My goal was always to be the girl with the most unique/ridiculous costume.

^^ Yes thanks. It's just very hard to read otherwise
