we always have a pimps and hoes party every year and some do see it as direspectful, but it depends on how you dress. You dont have to dress "like a hoe" if your not comfortable (as a girl) so interpret it as u please

So instead you dress like what, a garden tool?

Why would any self-respecting greek house sponsor a "pimps and hoes" party?

PLEASE!

Class yourselves up a little, and mix it up next time. If you want to host such an event, try the following two ideas:

"C.E.O.'s and Office Hoes" -or- "Golf Pros and Tennis Hoes"

This way you can show your female guests the respect that they deserve while keeping it classy. And since you don't completely drop off the "hoes" in the theme title, they can (and should) still slut it up without looking like common street trash.

Hope this helps,

Mitch

I hope you honestly don't think that website is cool.

That is all.

This type of theme party was on the cover of 24 Hours today (a free paper):

Pimp 'n' ho party raises ruckus

By MATT KIELTYKA, 24 HOURS

Plans for a Tri-Cities "Pimp 'N' Ho" Halloween party for underage youth set off a controversy yesterday after a community group denounced the event.

The Children of the Street Society - a group dedicated to "the prevention of sexual exploitation of children and youth" - is incensed.

"[The party] is promoting and glamourizing an extremely abusive sex-trade," said Diane Sowden, the group's executive director. "A lot of it has to do with popular culture, but they're not telling youth about the drug addiction and violence that goes along with it."

Since finding out about the party through a Craigslist ad, Sowden has sent letters to parents, schools and costume shops in an effort to steer children away from the party.

"I can't imagine an underage child being dropped off to a pimp 'n' ho party," she said. "Parents need to be made aware of this."

But fears of sexual exploitation and sex-trade recruitment have been blown out of proportion, according to one sex-trade worker who sees the party as a reflection on pop culture.

"[Youth] think it's fun dressing up like they're in a music video," said Susan Davis, of the PACE sex-trade advocacy group. "They want to emulate a player's party and have a good time with it."

Davis said the terms "pimp" and "ho" have taken on a new life in mainstream culture.

"Pimping these days means you've got your shit together," she said. "You've got a good car, nice clothes, a good job. Kids don't see a pimp working a bunch of girls in the streets when they hear it."

The promotion company, Creatyve Mynds, has yet to name a venue for the party. The phone number listed at the bottom of the ad - which seeks bartenders and security for the event - is no longer in service.

WHAT'S THE ALLURE?

- A sexed-up youth culture is drawing teens to events such as "Pimp 'n' Ho" parties.

Jaminie Hilton, a counsellor who works with sexually abused youth, says teens are "being sexualized [by pop culture]." "You have someone like Britney Spears performing sexual acts on stage ... [and] people that go to the shows are very young."

Youth may think it's just for fun, but Hilton warns of the perils.

"They shouldn't be advertising their bodies at that age. It affects their ability to set limits."

I have been to two or three of these themed parties. And I went to a house where I was friends with all of the brothers. The first time, I dressed as a "ho", where I was basically wearing a cute backless shirt, a khaki skirt, and some heels. I'm sorry, but I can't correctly dress like a ho, cuz uh.. oh, i'm not a ho! And the other two times I went I dressed as a pimp

From what I hear, these parties used to be a lot crazier than they are now. But it's still pretty much girls dressing like absolute sluts. If you ask me, the girls who go to those parties in bras and skirts barely long enough to cover their butts put themselves in a position to be humiliated.

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?

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".
