Spotlight On: Pachanga!

Spring is in the air! The clocks are changing back in one week, and the Oscars have come and gone. You know what that means? That’s right, it’s Pachanga time! Pachanga has become hands down the most popular party on campus that all Brandeisians have come to know and love. Ok, so yes, the objective of the party may be a bit scandalous for those of you who know and have been lucky enough to get through the doors and take part. But whether you’re sober, a little bit tipsy or completely wasted, there’s no denying the fun of just dancing the night away. The International Club, also known as the I-club prepares for weeks for Pachanga. By starting to collect only the best music (yes it might be a little on the Latino side), promoting all around campus, hanging flyers, selling tickets, starting Facebook Groups, and hiring intense security to maximize the dance floor by making sure Levin is filled to occupancy, no more and no less, the I-club goes all out to throw the hottest party of the year. So get there early, pachangers!

We know the question on all you HerCampus readers’ minds: What do I wear? From personal experience we can tell you: not a lot. With the massive crowds, sweaty dance floor, and this week’s warm Spring forecast, we can almost guarantee you will begin to sweat the second you walk in Levin Ballroom. So head to Forever 21, get a fun, club-esque dress, and get ready to strut your stuff. Wondering what to bring as well? Tickets come in the form of bracelets so put yours on before, stick a hair tie on your wrist, and hold onto your cell phone for dear life. Tickets are on sale for $10 this week in Shapiro and at the door if they don’t sell out. Take the rest of this week to rest up-this weekend will be a crazy one!
