Interesting list from Business Insider. I'm surprised that Priscilla's Ball at HBS (annual drag party) and Walnut Walk at Wharton (guys wear suit jackets, dress shirt and boxers and women wear lingerie while bar hopping!!!!) did not make the list.
Business Insider should do a follow-up list of crazy trips that MBA students go on.

I wonder what Brady4MVP would think of this?
Oh wait, sorry, I forgot I am responding to a post from him.
(even funnier, I recognized a young girl at the front of one of those pictures in the slideshow)
kpx, why do you and many others on wso assume that MBA parties are "lame?" It may not be as "crazy" as a frat/sorority mixer at say Arizona State, but MBA parties are fun in their own right. It's just different from undergrad and so it's pointless to compare apples to oranges here.
yeah, this is probably true. But these are likely the same people you'll need to kiss up to when you interview for finance/consulting jobs senior year.
So make sure to ask about the legendary B-school parties in your interviews.
I bet the Arizona State MBA parties are pretty fun
Before I opened this thread, I was 100% sure who the poster was. I was right.
Looks like all these folks never went to college. People getting near naked and drinking for hours is old news. Grow up.
I'm actually going back and forth if OP is Brady or not, this thread definitely suggests Brady. I still hold a sliver of a chance it's not Brady since I haven't heard the phrase 'mad swagger'...yet.
LOL, the Chicago Booth party looks lame as fuck. This slideshow reinforces the notion that Booth is the nerdiest B-school in the United States.
Kpx, are you still in college? If so I will give you a pass, but otherwise you seem really immature and deeply envious of highly successful people who also know how to have fun. Top b-schools are nothing like top law or med schools, which are pretty geeky. These schools attract people who excelled in all aspects of their lives: academic, professional, extracurricular, and personal. You can't get into say Stanford GSB, HBS, or Wharton by just being a dork who studied 24/7 and have high gpa/gmat. You really need to get your facts straight before bashing MBA parties.
eldiablo, actually that honor goes to MIT Sloan, but yeah Booth is close. It's gotten a lot less geeky in recent years though, and I imagine that being a student in Chicago would be pretty fun. But that Indian party does look lame compared to the others on the list.
Trust me. The b-school parties are pretty wild and I'm not surprised the Wharton party referenced isn't on the list. Wharton 54 is a much wilder party than Walnut Walk...
I don't know about that...
yeah im pretty sure booth could have done better with the selection of a party to show off haha
Christ...
Actually I heard that they're adventures of epic proportions. Also people mating like bunny rabbits.
Epic as in Biblical? As in.... THIS???!!!!!!!!!
Incidentally if dogs and cats mate like bunny rabbits, what would their offsprings look like???????
^LOL
Do you think OP=Brady now?
Strong possibility...or at least twin brother.
Just to revisit here. I would strongly suggest that whoever posts negatively about MBA parties please read up a little about some of the core aspects of the MBA experience. I'm sure there are articles in the WSJ for reference.
Brady is becoming like the WSO Everyman...literally any and every poster could be Brady.
Good lord, this thread...
These threads are why I come here.
It's so painful reading these threads, but I can't tear my eyes away. I pity ANYONE who thinks going to a party with a bunch of MBA students is the most fun way to spend your Friday night. Gives me the creeps thinking these people could be lurking in my MBA class.
Craziest party experience (Originally Posted: 11/21/2014)
Mine was back in college my frat had a pregame for a rush party. Had about 200 people in an off campus house at one point and cops busted us. Pretty much everyone in my pledge class got a MIP (were sophomores at the time)...kids were jumping off the roofs to avoid the cops, one even got tackled on the way down
Fire away....
B-school trip with 60 of my classmates to Rio. We stayed at a super nice hotel right on the beach. Staying out till like 3-4 AM every night, lavish sushi and brazilian bbq, bottles at nightclubs loaded with some of the most beautiful women i have ever seen (multiple guys with girlfriends and wives cheated during the trip), hang gliding, sightseeing, and more. It was way more fun than anything I ever experienced in college and post-college.
Humping a reindeer
so I slept with this girl and then woke up and she was gone....all that was left was a pineapple on my window sill......wait a minute...
My friend had one fairly big party every summer that started while we were in high-school, and brought out 60-80 people to his modest house with a big back yard. When I was 21, I was visiting my home town and ran into him at a 7-Eleven. He invited me to his party later that day, and as we were cashing out of the store, a guy we never saw before approached my friend and said "Sorry dude, I won't be able to make the party tonight." My friend felt that something was odd and said that he's been getting approached that way all day.
That evening, I was driving to the party with another friend, and noticed 4 cop cars and groups of people walking away from the house, much like you'd see at the end of an outdoor festival. The cops wouldn't let us get out of our car and told us to drive on as they dispersed the crowds. We caught up with the host, hours later, and helped him clean up toilet paper from local trees, firework casings, and all sort of other garbage he told us that when the cops showed up, the party was at around 750 people, with more coming as the property ran out of room and people started overflowing onto the street.
So there you have it, the greatest and largest house party that I never attended.
@"pele14" it was 300 people and I got arrested for that, dick.
Not a fan of massive parties, but the 'craziest' party was on New Years Eve. In order to enter each person had to bring two bottles of champagne, so a couple had to bring 4 bottles.
Edit: Then there was this "red dress" party, basically it originated because someone's wife really wanted to do a red dress party so they threw one... Over the years this thing ballooned from several dozen to hundreds.
Back in B-school Bulbasaur got mad drunk and was playing with her clit ring in front of everyone, until she squirted green goo everywhere.
involved your mom; that's all I remember
Mushrooms at a house party. No one knew what quantity was appropriate. 20 people wandering around a park from 12 midnight to 8am dazed and confused. One naked in a sandpit on his back bicycling his legs in the air. One guy went home, came back with a kitchen knife to kill another guy. The potential victim had already gone home. Cops came, someone talked to them, cops left.
That post brings you up to 2222 banana points. The mushroom Gods must like the number 2.
I was about to say that big parties tend to not be too crazy but 20 people on boomers will take any gathering to a while new level. And it reminded me of sophomore year at one of my fraternity's big party about 10 of us ate mushrooms. All I remember is walking around a 200 person party with only my boxers and some guys moccasins on with a dream catcher on my head like a Native American. And a Pellet gun. And 190 drunk people. Mushrooms, grain alcohol and even low grade weapons do not mix.
Is that you, Sage Kelly?
God damn independent aka your average kid that wasn't a frat boy.
Got blown at a college party in front of eleven other people
