You know those moments when you’re watching a movie and the college students are all in a Frat and throw these outrageously amazing parties? It’s natural to want to have that experience, and clearly someone who shares that thought is Kane the co-president of Stonecutters, the group that are responsible for throwing a movie-worthy Frat party. We had a chat to him on what to expect on the night and his party tips.
Hi Kane, how have the Stonecutters social events been going going this year?
So far Stonecutters events have gone great! During O’ Week, our two events Back to School night and the Tour of Tradition were once again fantastic nights. During semester one, our much loved Beach Party was also a massive hit. It’s been a highly successful start to the year, and with many more events left to come, it’s going to be a great year.
How are preparations for this year’s event coming along?
Preparations are coming along nicely for this year’s event. A lot of time and effort has gone into the creation of the decorations that are spread throughout the venue, especially the front stage, which is always a hit. The Stonecutters committee are a group of hard working people and we are all very keen to create an event that everyone in attendance will love and not forget in a hurry.
For those Deakin students who are ‘Ballarat-virgins’ so to speak, what can they expect from the venue, the folk and most importantly the party?
Any newcomers to the Frat Party can expect three floors of entertainment, a sea of cheerleaders, NBA jerseys and red cups. A sticky introduction to jelly wrestling can also be expected to anyone who may find themselves close to the stage.
How has the clashing of the Cutters and Juggers gone in the past?
For many years now the clashing of Cutters and Juggers has been a great success, with the annual Clash of the Titans trip being one of the biggest events on the social calendar. Over the last couple of years it’s been great to see a steady increase of Juggers members make the trip down to Ballarat. We are really excited once again for a record breaking number of Juggers members to make the trip down and party with us.
What activities will be on offer this round?
Once again, the annual ‘Dash for Cash’ jelly wrestling competition will be on show, with Stonecutters members getting a chance to win a share of $1000. Red cups a plenty with massive drink specials for you to enjoy in your traditional ‘Frat’ cup.
Can you give us your top 5 Frat Party tips?
My top 5 tips for Frat Party this year would be:
1. Dressing up is a must!
2. Get creative with your outfit.
3. Bring a spoon for the jelly.
4. Make sure you’re up the front for the jelly wrestling to get the best view.
5. Leave your blow up dolls at home, we’ve got plenty.
Tickets are $10 for members and $20 for non-members, so what are you waiting for Deakin students and Ballarat students, time to party like Americans!
