Ah, the theme party. The chance for college students to mix things up for the night….or yet another opportunity to dress up in something slutty.
Theme parties are an essential part of college life and you can’t graduate without attending at least one (hundred). But after four (or more, if you’re lucky) years on a college campus, there are certain theme parties that just get old. Really old. Wrinkly, saggy skin old. They’re cliche, they’re annoying, they’re the ones you go to freshman year and, if you’re smart, you never go to again.
So pack up the slutty pencil skirts and white wife beaters, people, because here are 9 theme parties you won’t be indulging in any time soon. (Editor’s Note: That is until you graduate and crave a crazy college party to take you back to the glory days. Sigh.)
Office Hoes and Exec Bros. Also commonly known as CEO and Corporate Hoes. This theme, most often the idea of horny frat boys nationwide, plays on common sexual fantasies and is their way of forcing girls to look like sluts. Freshman year, it’s fun and a great excuse to wear a black bra under a white button down. But by senior year, we’re way too close to the real world and you couldn’t pay us to put on business attire since we’ll soon be wearing it everyday for the rest of our careers. That being said, I’m assuming that women are expected to wear pants along with their blouses in the real world…

Pshhh…I STILL love theme parties two years out of school. If I were invited to one tomorrow I’d whip out my sewing machine so fast. My favorites in school were the pajama, old school hip hop, and halloween themed parties.
I went to a few parties on the list in college and I never actually dressed slutty. I have a rule in general I try to follow when I dress. If you are going to wear something strapless or that bares your midriff, then you should wear something to or past the knee (like pants). If you are going to wear something short, you should cover up on top. That’s a way you can participate but still hold on to some dignity and not have every frat boy in the building grabbing at your goodies.

theme parties were fun. The Ground Hog Day theme party was the best.
