A Toga Party is the classic, almost cliche, frat party theme. Thanks to “retro” or “kitsch” being fashionable at the moment, now is the perfect time to either relive your misspent youth or prepare your liver for college depending on your age. It is, perhaps, the costume themed party with the simplest costume requirements. It allows the partiers a large amount of flexibility in how they make and drape their togas to accommodate their modesty requirements, or lack thereof. Apparel: Guests should be encouraged to bring and fashion their own toga, but a supply of inexpensive sheets (not necessarily white) should be kept on hand. They should also be told that a proper toga costume is worn in a similar fashion to a kilt. Many guests will likely wear underwear underneath, at the least, even when informed of proper toga party etiquette, but any clothing sticking out from the toga should be properly discouraged immediately (See “tequila”) and remedied before admission. Food and Drink: Remember that a toga themed party is not meant to be a Greek theme, it is an exercise in debaucherous overindulgence. Hot dogs or burgers are your best option, if you decide to serve more than just potato chips. The person operating the barbecue should be allowed an apron for safety reasons, especially if their toga is on the more minimal side. Beer is an essential part of a toga party, preferably in keg form (see “activities” below). Hard alcohol is also an excellent choice, but should consist only of tequila and whisky or bourbon. Moonshine is also acceptable. Please drink responsibly. Activities: The party can be opened with a viewing of the classic film “Animal House”, while serving beer and barbecuing. As the party continues and really gets going the movie should become background and should be left on a loop for the remainder of the party. As the guests become more loose and lose interest in all but the most quotable portions of the movie, perhaps it's time to start playing music. It should be fairly loud. At any time, it is appropriate to chant “Toga, Toga, Toga, Toga” (within reason, don't be a jerk). This should always be chanted by as many people as possible if, as is likely, someone's toga slips partially off. Especially if they were properly informed as to appropriate Toga underclothing (see above). At the parties peak, it is likely time to begin the keg stands. Guests should be encouraged to attempt to perform a handstand (with help from bystanders to hold them up) on the keg of beer while drinking directly from the hose. It is the host's discretion that determines how much aid should be given to keeping the performer's toga from falling, while toga slips are fun for all involved, you do not want to discourage keg stands. Remember: The goal of a good toga party is to loosen the guests inhibitions by encouraging an atmosphere of immaturity and general craziness.
