Is a "Pimps and Ho's Party" disrepectful??? - Page 3

XiLovin · #1 06-07-2002, 02:02 PM

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!

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.

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.

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.

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...

We have never had pimp and ho at UofH but when I was at SMU they had it and I went once. It was pretty stupid. And some people really did dress nasty. They were trying to outlaw it since date rapes were occurring and stuff.

I personally have no problem with these kinds of parties, as long as my org's name isn't attached. I've been to one and had fun, no problem. Anybody can do what they feel like doing.

Maybe you meant that people shouldn't attack, but the way you phrased this it really came across to me 'if you don't like these parties then don't say it because you'll ruin other people's good time.' I don't care about the issue one way or another, but if someone else doesn't like it they have just as much of a right as you do to say so.

All the attitude was not even necessary. Check thyself por favor.

These party ideas are original and unique. I agree that things have gotten out of control to remain PC to all groups of people, whether they are the pimps or the hos

Have the mixer or party, it sounds to me just like any ol' costume party, what exactly is the harm in that?

P.S. Post some pics too, people always come up with the greatest ideas for these new themes!

The first social we had when I was pledging was "Mobsters and Mistresses" which was basically "Pimps and Ho's of the Roaring 20's." It was funny that it snuck past Panhellenic radar, b/c when you think about it it was pretty ho-ish. Fishnets and boas for the girls, the guys get to look dignified in pinstripe.

Silverblue · #13 06-08-2002, 02:42 PM

Thank goodness this theme wasn't popular when I was in college in the late 1980s. I never would have gone to a mixer with such a title. My chapter has never had one, nor do I think it would, but last year, the chapter I ranked second on my bid card did. I was shocked and very glad I hadn't joined that organization. This is a perfect example of why Greeks have a bad image.

lilsnakeyk · #14 06-08-2002, 05:30 PM

We've done a Reverse Pimp and Ho's party. It's sooooooo much better that way. The guys get all dressed up in drag, and so do we. I think that the guys almost have more fun that way, or at least they acted like they did. (But be sure that those pictures didn't make it to their rush scrapbook

)

I would never participate in a "Pimps and Hoes" party. Never.
