Throwing Parties (not low key)

[Tanach]

So I have an apartment in college this year, and I would like to throw some parties of the not low key variety.

My question is, how do you get people (read: decent girls) to come and make sure that it isn't a lame sausage fest?

I'm asking since most of my friends are guys so just inviting your friends and their friends will result in lots of pole.

I should mention that I live off campus (not too far, but not close.)

Thx

Thanks for the help. I have a couple of girl friends, but not a lot.

While walking around campus (assuming you actually go to class...), tell everybody you see about it. Tell people you know to tell people they know. Tell hot chicks, and have them tell their friends.

And if you can afford it, pull them in with the promise of free beer, and follow through. If you only do this once, there's a good chance people will keep coming.

Pimps and hoes doesn't hurt either. /images/graemlins/cool.gif

make flyers and give them to girls. Tell them you will have Jello shots, and don;t start the party to early, perhaps 10 or 10:30.

From the sound of it, I think you should just go ahead and plan on breaking out the playstation and save yourself the disappointment.

Find the one flat chested fat chick at every school that knows absolutely everyone because her only prospect of getting laid is to be a great friend. Tell her chicks get keg cups free before midnight. She might not be a freind you want to bang, but her social networking will probably pay off.

I was thinking the same thing. If you have to ask then not very likely it will happen.

Just grow a sack and start telling girls that you would like to come about the party and hope they come through. Jungle juice is another great selling point. And if you want to guarantee some action then dont mess around with vodka. Everclear is the trick. Mix it with some tropican twister and it is on!!

Oh and if you can promise dancing that always tricks girls into coming as well.

Live music always works, but probably isn't possible if you're living in an apartment.

If you do know a few decent looking girls (or girls who know decent looking girls), you can always just plan the party near one of their birthdays & make it in her honor.

Finally, there's always the off-the-beaten-track method, which involves actually talking to a bunch of hot women & inviting them personally.

First, move out of your apartment and into a house. I've had fun at people's apartment's but the only 'wild parties' I ever went to were at houses.

Second, don't tell any dudes about your party. I don't care if it's your best friend, don't tell him. Tell as many girls as you can find. Remember the rule of 5. If you tell 1 dude about your party 5 will show up. If you tell 5 girls, 1 will probably show up. Go out seeking Freshman girls. I threw a lot of parties at my house in college. For the most part, the more Freshman girls that showed up, the better the party was.

Third, put something original in your house. At my college, everybody had a bar in their house, everybody had a beirut table, they were no big deal. But only one house that I knew of had a stripper pole. Only one house had a fish tank built into their bar (I would not reccomend this, I'm amazed it was never broken). One house I was at another school and the guys in the house built cages out of chain linked fencing. Drunk girls absolutley loved this.

Finally, some schools have groups that are known for having great parties, a certain frat, team, club, etc. Become friends with somebody in this group. This is the one dude you can tell about your party. He will know a lot of girls, and hopefully have enough girls show up to make up for his douche bag friends.

I think this is excellent advice. Also make friends with the campus beer rep for whatever brand you're buying. Beer reps can arrange replenishments after hours and by the very nature of being a beer rep happen to know a heck of a lot of people (females).

For those who need some help: a campus beer rep is a person hired by a beer company or distributor to promote their products on campus. They put up signs for events and often have relationships with local liquor stores to help them in distribution. These guys kick ass and you should definately buddy up with them. The Schlitz Malt Liquor Bull guy rocked on our campus. Besides cold kegs at any time of the day or night, he also gave us the coolest neon beer signs on/near campus and other widgets that get people in the party (call all my girlfriends) mood.

Oh yeah, if you have a good themed party more girls will show up together and be more likely to stay. Don't do a stupid ass theme party like 80's or golf pros/tennis hoes. We had 3 big parties last year all with really specific themes. There were about 5+ packs of 5+ girls who came dressed up in the essentially same costume and stayed the whole night.

Not to mention always have wayyyy more alcohol than necessary. If the booze dries up most people will leave.

[MrTrik]

The mid 1980s were my college years. I'm just very curious. What the heck is a beruit table?

[Tron]

Beirut is the proper name for the game that many call "Beer Pong."

[manpower]

Maybe it's just my dry campus living ass, but haven't beer reps pretty much ceased to exist? I mean, i know a Red Bull rep, but colleges seem to have gotten pretty uptight at the idea of free beer...

That said, if the first party doesn't succeed, try, try again. If the hot ladies hear that everyone had a good time over at the house on lawrence street saturday, or wherever the hell you live, then they'll be more likely to come the next time you throw down.

Fun stuff besides 'ruit and cards are a good idea too. Try jello shots. And if you're going to have the TV on, for the love of god, don't let people watch sportscenter. Go out and get a Ski / whitewater rafting / other extreme sports movie or try and score some music vids from your dorky friend in comp sci. Oh, and don't try and do porn, it never works out.

Important things to realize:

-girls 21 and over have the option of going to bars and dance clubs (=target underclassmen)

-many girls don't like beer (=serve margaritas, hairy buffalo, etc.)
edit: Liquor is also incredibly cheaper to provide.

-people don't like going to strange places alone (=invite groups of girls)

If you have the guts to invite the girl sitting next to you in chemistry, great. If not, I'd recommend e-mailing the presidents of groups like the volleyball club, girls' soccer club, etc. If you through a good shindig the first time, it'll be 10 times easier next month.

One word: mimosas

I used to write the party info on the whiteboards freshman put up on their dorm doors.

Freshman are keys to any party, especially the first few weeks of school. The are desperate for booze and are too stupid to realize they don't have to pay for a $5 beer cup. Also, alot of freshman girls like to hook up the first couple nights so they can brag to their old and new friends about it.

Make sure you are stiff with the money, cause if you are floating around the party all across campus your probabilty of getting it busted goes up, and you wanna have some cash to pay for tickets.

On my campus cops usually let you off light, but some like to make examples of you. I don't know how strict your campus is.

Oh, and get enough booze, lack of booze kills parties, if you don't drink it all, you can go at it again the next day.

Go to the dorms and write your address on the message boards outside of the rooms on the womens wing/floor. This is what I did in college and it worked everytime. I did have a huge house with a large basement though. We would get 300+ people each time we did this and usually had to turn people away, so be forewarned.

[mason55]

Unless you have a HUGE apartment, you can never throw a big party. When I lived in a 4 bedroom apartment the most we could comfortable have was 40 people. When I moved to my 6 bedroom, three story house, we could decide to throw a party friday afternoon and have 200 people there that night. You'll also have other residents of the bldg complain. You really need a house to throw good parties. If you don't know any girls, go to someone else's party and meet people there then invite them to your party.

And the most important thing is to make sure your first party is really really really awesome. If it sucks, you're done. If it's awesome, you'll instantly have a great rep. Truthfully, if you're worried about this, you might want to wait and meet more people. Go to other parties, get contacts, even if you just see them at parties and never hang out with them in real life. Only invite people who are having fun and making the party cool. Once you have a good list of contacts then plan something big.

One thing I thought of, is that if you have an apt, you can make it seem like the party is a lot more rockin than it really is. Since it's such a small space, as long as everyone is drunk enough, they'll forget that they're meeting the same people over and over, as long as everyone there is cool.

I'm going to keep rambling though and say that if you have to ask this question, your party will suck and you'll have a REALLY tough time getting people to come to another one. I can't count the number of times I'd skip a party because I went to one bad one at that place.

I have never, ever seen a fat chick who was also flat chested. I believe it is impossible.

[rustyboy]

If you throw it, they will come.

But seriously, is this really a problem? Every party I have ever been to (at ohio state) has been too damn big. 40 minute lines to kegs, police looking for underagers to harass etc.
