<i>why tacos, tequila, and pinatas might be reasonable elements of a Mexican theme party </i>

i seriously think these features should be part of every party, ever.

"Okay, it's time for the valentine's pinata!"

WHY U BRAKE HEART

― Shakey Mo Collier, Friday, 23 February 2007 23:40 (seventeen years ago) link

Oh my god, the valentine's pinata would be a great thing to sell to bitter single people who hate valentine's day.

― accentmonkey, Saturday, 24 February 2007 21:38 (seventeen years ago) link

Ha: a friend of mine once creeped out her party by pulling out a heart-shaped pinata an ex-boyfriend had sent her and beating the living crap out of it. But then there was candy, so it was all good again.

delta zeta evicts the fat chicks

― max, Sunday, 25 February 2007 19:33 (seventeen years ago) link

i mean, nothing idiotic that college kids do now really shocks me (since im in college), but i can't believe that there are adults who think they can just get rid of the ugly/fat/nerdy girls and no one will, like, notice??

― max, Sunday, 25 February 2007 19:35 (seventeen years ago) link

oh wait they're ex-sorority sisters

― max, Sunday, 25 February 2007 19:36 (seventeen years ago) link

It's nice to see that half the people they decided to keep quit anyway!

What they don't realize is that the one fraternity of goofy electrical-engineering guys and the one sorority of pudgy smart girls = the best possible P.R. for the greek system, in the eyes of everyone else.

― nabisco, Sunday, 25 February 2007 19:40 (seventeen years ago) link

I've got a proudly feminist/activist friend who's a Zeta, I'm curious to hear what she thinks of this.

― BIG HOOS aka the steendriver, Sunday, 25 February 2007 19:47 (seventeen years ago) link

What the fuck is wrong with them, the NYT photo of the evicted women makes them all look HAWT!! There are some serious racks in evidence.

"all" is a bit of an exaggeration.

at my university the delta zeta's had the same image problem. if they kicked out all the fatties here, the sorority wouldn't have any members left.

I LOVE going to a school where ~5% of the student body participates in Greek life. :D

― jessie monster, Sunday, 25 February 2007 22:08 (seventeen years ago) link

my school has probably 10% greek life shit, and its predictably irritating. the white fraternities are full of d.b.s and the three non-rugby sororities are just as irritating. i love to death the rugby sorority, though.

co-worker girls i was hanging out with last night were comparing their frat party experiences and speculating on who they think "roofied" them -_-;;

Do the USC football players who set up an "Arian" Facebook group count?

Sure.

seven months pass...

http://www.startribune.com/10242/story/1528428.html

Hamline University has suspended six players from its football team for donning blackface and body paint to dress up as African tribesmen for an off-campus Halloween party, an incident that has sparked a discussion about racial sensitivity at the St. Paul liberal arts college.
...
The university is investigating the incident to find out whether the students violated policy, Hamline spokesman JacQui Getty said Sunday. Two cheerleaders who helped the players with their costumes and reportedly posted photos of them on the Internet social-networking site Facebook with a caption about "spooks" are also under investigation.
Sophomore Tasha Simmons, a friend of the students involved, said the matter has been blown out of proportion and taken out of context. "People misunderstood," she said.
...
Simmons said the costumes -- which included black Under Armour-type clothing and tight black pants -- were creative. "It wasn't supposed to be offensive whatsoever," she said.
Using "spooks" also was not meant to offend anyone, she said. "If you would have seen them, you would have been spooked out. Most (students) don't correlate that term with the '50s," she said. "These are not the sort of people in any way who would discriminate against anyone."

"Hamline University"

― BIG HOOS aka the steendriver, Monday, 5 November 2007 21:23 (sixteen years ago) link

aka the Slavedrivers

― wanko ergo sum, Monday, 5 November 2007 21:24 (sixteen years ago) link

"Spooks"? Is that term offensive in some way I'm not aware of? Unless you're CIA or undead, I guess.

― Laurel, Monday, 5 November 2007 21:26 (sixteen years ago) link

Spook can mean:

* A female gecko
* An alternative term (Dutch, from Middle Dutch spooc) for a ghost
* A colloquial term for a spy
* Spook (band), an Australian trip hop band.
* A racial slur for a black person.
* A character from The Wardstone Chronicles

― BIG HOOS aka the steendriver, Monday, 5 November 2007 21:26 (sixteen years ago) link

all five other options would make much better halloween costumes

― max, Monday, 5 November 2007 21:30 (sixteen years ago) link

i wish that i had gone as an australian trip hop band

I'm so baffled by the fact that you've never heard that one, Laurel!
