I know a little bit about the history of the toga party in American universities, but does anyone know how popular they are these days? Is it mostly just a relic of the 1960's and 70's?

They're still definitely around. This one night back when I was living in California I was hanging out drinking with some people at Long Beach State and a few of them were in togas because they were planning to go to some toga party, but I don't think they ever made it there...so anyway yeah I don't think they're as popular as they used to be but they do exist and I'm sure almost every university has them every once in a while.

I have no idea. But every time someone says Toga Party, I always think Animal House and become quite disturbed. :P

Animal House is based on real events at SIUC, you know.

Yep, my dad mentioned that when we watched it. I think that made it even more odd, LOL.

AH, the heritage my (former) school graces the world with. Going there has given me the gift of carrying on that tradition!
