Rule 5 and 6: Spread Out Your Parties

Rule 5—Spread out the socials and balance them with brotherhood events. (Brotherhood events are fraternity gatherings to boost the comraderie of the fraternity via events, such as Poker Nights, Broomball, Camping Trips, etc). If there are too many socials within a quarter, then you will burn out the guys in your house. Guys should look forward to socials during the week, so make them uniquely themed and spread out. NOTE: I will not talk about brotherhood events because these are not parties.

Rule 6—The end of your quarter should have exciting events. Try to mimic your first two weeks of the quarter with the week before finals. During this week before finals, there won’t be any tests or quizzes. At most this will be the week of papers, and most people can balance partying with writing papers.
