has gloss | eng: A toga party is a particular kind of costume party in which partygoers wear a toga, or a semblance thereof, normally made from a bed sheet, and sandals. They are a popular fad on college and university campuses in the United States and Canada. Toga parties were depicted in the 1978 film Animal House, which propelled the ritual into a widespread and enduring practice. Chris Miller, who was one of the writers of Animal House, attended Dartmouth College where the toga party was a popular costume event at major fraternity parties (such as Winter Carnival and Green Key Weekend) during the late 1950s and early 1960s. First lady Eleanor Roosevelt held a toga party to spoof the followers of the "Caesar," her husband President Franklin D. Roosevelt. |
