Do’s and Don’ts: Jungle Party Edition

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Rhodes chapter.

This Saturday March 25th the brothers of the Tennessee Zeta chapter of Sigma Alpha Epsilon will host their infamous Jungle Party.

Not only is this annual event one of the best on our campus, ÎŁAE chapters nationwide throw their own jungle themed rager. Some universities are even known for renting animals for the night. It is yet to be confirmed if any of the animals from the Memphis Zoo will be making an appearance. Fingers crossed.

This notorious party will be in the lodge on campus. However you might not recognize it—the guys go ALL OUT with their décor. They definitely bring the outside in by practically replacing the walls with trees, leaves, and branches. It is a sight to see. Junior Cole Wendt, better known as Creature Cole, says that “It’s going to be a roaring good time”.

Here are some tips that ensure a ~wild~ time.

Do Dress Up: You can always recycle your black cat costume from Halloween, but a girl has got to have options. Grab a guy and be Tarzan and Jane. Better yet, get a group and go as The Wild Thornberrys. Cargo shorts, bucket hat, and binoculars makes you a safari guide. Feeling yourself? Just wear some cute camo or animal print. There’re endless possibilities—so let out your inner animal.

Don’t Do Bare Feet: You never know what might be on the jungle floor.

Do: Check out those snapchat filters. There’s always a few animal ears on there.

Beware of the Jungle Juice: Stick to dressing like an animal, not acting like one.

Def Do: The foliage covering every inch of interior makes the perfect backdrop for an insta with your squad.

*And as always abide by the Rhodes’ social and alcohol policy by being legal, responsible, healthy, and reflective of Rhodes community values.

That completes our list.  Have a blast partying with the Kings of the Jungle. If you have suggestions for a future Do’s and Don’ts list email us at: nathalievacheron@hercampus.com

Hi! I'm Nathalie Vacheron, a senior at Rhodes hailing from Germantown, Tennessee. I love to write, I love to edit, and I'm in love with the voice Her Campus gives to women across college campuses. In addition to Her Campus, I'm involved in my sorority, Tri Delta, work in the Counseling/Health Center, am a First Year mentor, and love to run when I can. I'm a Business & Commerce major concentrating in management with a minor in Psychology. I hope to go into health administration, community health, or work for a non-profit (and write a book somewhere in-between...) xoxo
