A popular fad on American college campuses, a toga party is a particular kind of costume party at which everyone wears a toga, or a semblance thereof, normally made from a bedsheet. Started in the 1960s, the toga party concept originated within the fraternity, or "Greek" campus culture, hence the costume. Toga parties are notorious for featuring large amounts of alcoholic beverages, especially beer.
Toga parties were depicted in the 1978 film Animal House, which propelled the ritual into a widespread and enduring practice.
