If you’re a sophomore or older, it is very likely you’ve already experienced the most fabulous, extravagant, expensive, and drunkest event of the semester: Linus. But for the freshmen who did not attend the fall semester fiesta and plan on entering the mystical world of the charity event, here are some tips from a seasoned veteran.
Do make sure to dress appropriately. Scythe optional.
Don’t pregame too much. Why would you waste your tolerance on cheap vodka in your dorm room when you can order four whisky sours at once from the bar (it’s called quadruple fisting). Whether you’re frugal or not, use your common sense!
Do get there early to take advantage, duh! As many partygoers experienced last semester, the line gets long soon after the door opens. The bars also get super crowded as the night goes on, and they sometimes even run out of certain drinks (OH NO). So go early, and don’t be afraid to dance alone on the empty dance floor!
Don’t wear shoes that you will fall in. It is embarrassing to fall and it is also extremely likely that you WILL fall if you are not careful. The floor gets very lubricated, so hold onto something/someone!
Do look as hot as possible. Upset that you didn’t get to see your SigEp (RIP) crush at AePi formal last weekend when you wore that low-cut dress? Well, now is the time- Linus is the most attended event of the semester, so look sexy for all 800 people!
Don’t eat all the donuts from the food tables. They put them there to sabotage you. Just don’t.
Do dance as much as possible! Last semester when I made a speech about how EVERYONE SHOULD BE GRINDING over the microphone, I was cut off half way through. So don’t make me disappointed or I may just have to do it again.
Don’t cry. Drunk tears are not allowed at Linus.
Do go to Linus for every semester of college or even for the rest of your life! Every event is different, and although tickets are pricy, they go to charity. Cheers to charity!
