Connection to National Lampoon's Animal House

edit

Animal House's significant cultural impact can be seen across many college campuses in the United States. At Harding University, a private Christian university affiliated with the Churches of Christ, Titans Men's Social Club refuses to put on a spring formal for its members. Instead, the men of Titans choose to celebrate an event called "TOGA" which is heavily inspired by the iconic toga concert from the movie[citation needed]. In the 1980s, it was difficult for Titans to throw a Valentine's Day function because the vast majority of members were busy attending Valentine's Day functions put on by the Women's Social Clubs on campus. In a stroke of genius, the Titans administration decided to celebrate Groundhog Day rather than Valentine's Day. Over time, the Groundhog Day party evolved into the famous TOGA banquet and concert it is today. The members and their dates dress up in their togas and attend a dinner where superlatives are distributed and other activities occur[citation needed]. After the banquet, they put on a large concert open to the public. Out of every club on campus, TOGA sells more tickets and draws more of a crowd than any other club-organized event[citation needed]. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mikeross22 (talkcontribs) 16:48, June 6, 2024 (UTC)

@Mikeross22: Did you intend to write something different or add something to this unsourced paragraph that doesn't seem to have any context or explanation? ElKevbo (talk) 23:31, 6 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
I moved it here from the Animal House page because -- it being unsourced and only tangibly relevant -- it didn't belong there. I didn't want to delete it altogether, in case someone thought it should be included in the Harding U. article. But I have no attachment to it otherwise. -- stoshmaster (talk) 18:40, 7 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
