Golf Party was last weekend, the biggest party of the year where people party like they're golfing. This means overdressed people doing something they're terrible at, but also won't stop doing. Golf is the kind of slow, grueling sport that characterizes what Providence College parties are like sometimes, but they aren't the only themed PC parties around. So here's some of the lesser-known parties here at PC.
1. Basketball Party.
Ball is life ... and death at this party where shot-clock takes on a whole new meaning. So join PC students in the party equivalent of our actual basketball team's March Madness experience, where we expect to party all night but end up turning in early at a comfortable 11:30 p.m. Final score? Nothing, because nobody scored. Goodnight!
2. Soccer Party.
The kind of party that goes on for hours without any score; this party is exhausting. Ninety-plus minutes of running place to place without any breaks in the hot sun characterizes this lesser-known party sensation. The goals of this party? Just have a swell time there, buddy.
3. Horseshoes Party.
A party where everyone is just playing horseshoes together and having a swell time? Nope! I'm actually referring to the party where horseshoe crabs are released all over campus to join the fray. They scamper all over campus, and whoever collects the most horseshoe crabs gets to keep them. Horseshoe sacks are provided to the students, but most of us professionals like to just use our own. These little suckers belong in the ocean, but at this party, they belong to me.
4. Bear Party.
Remember horseshoes party? This party is a similar format, but with bears, meaning all the bears you catch on campus you get to keep! That's right, bears all over campus roaming free, taking free elective classes and you get to catch them. In a surprising development, this party is not nearly as popular as horseshoes party. Most students elect not to leave their dorm for this party on account of all the bears. Talk about a grizzly party, right guys? You know because of the maiming and bloodshed.
5. Protein Party.
Ready, bro? Because this is the only "whey" to party at PC. Have a test in the morning? Forget about it, bro. The only test you need is test-osterone! The whole campus is your gym for this party, so get whey-sted on protein shakes and lift your problems away. It's a PC tradition unlike any other, where all students get together and bro it out. The popularity of this one ranges somewhere in between bear party and horseshoe party for not threatening your life but also having minimal to zero horseshoe crabs.
