Springtime is here… and so is sorority event season. Whether you’re in Greek life, dating someone who is affiliated, or dating someone in a sorority or fraternity, this time of year is full of date parties, formals, and a whole bunch of events where dressing up is mandatory. As a former Greek life participant, and someone who has been to their fair share of date parties, I’m the first to tell you that your social calendar for the spring semester will be full of events. And, in 2023, you should expect to attend at least one rhyme-without-reason-themed sorority date party. I don’t make the rules, here!
Since 2022, the rhyme without reason party theme has been all over the internet. The rules are as follows: you and your partner (or if you’re wild, you can even make it a trio) dress up as two unrelated things that rhyme. Think, Megan Fox and Goldilocks, or even a black cat and an acrobat. The less related, and funnier, the better.
While Greek life party themes have been notoriously overused (and, frankly, boring at this point), consider a rhyme without reason party to be a breath of fresh air for the 2023 Greek life event season. Goodbye toga parties, hello… word-play parties?
