Any house can host a party, and most host at least one during the semester. Some of the houses host well known parties that are done every year and are usually widely attended. Comstock, like I said, hosts the Lei party. Tyler hosts a party called Immorality (relax, parents, nothing more immoral than dancing goes on, I promise). Not every party has a theme though, and even at theme parties, pretty much the same thing goes on as at a regular party: there’s a DJ (or occasionally a band) and you dance and meet people. The only difference is that at theme parties you usually dress to comply with the theme, and if it’s a theme party that has a good reputation as a fun party, you can usually be sure that there’s going to be enough people there (both male and female) to ensure a good time.

There are also parties that are held in the Campus Center, but in my experience house parties are more fun. Though I’ve been to good campus center parties too, it just depends on if they get a good DJ and a good number of people attending.

The other plus about Smith parties is that they are almost always free to attend, whereas parties hosted by organizations off campus usually have some kind of cover charge. So if you don’t have to pay or take a bus to have a good time, naturally you tend to stay at Smith.
