I've always known that I didn't like super big parties where there are a lot of random people, but coming to college just proved that to me even more. I'm not the type of person to want to go to the basement of a fraternity and dance. I just much rather play games and chill with people that I know and can trust. I don't know why I like these small "parties" but it's probably because I'm not really the dancing type. That and being in a basement with sweaty people bumping into me just doesn't sound pleasing at all.
This is why I like to go to smaller fraternities because their parties tend to be smaller and in my opinion a lot more fun. Not only do I know a lot of the brothers but I can also just sit around with people and just talk, or even play some sort of game. There's something about knowing a lot of the people that you're surrounded by makes it so much more fun. I think it's just way more comfortable and you can loosen up more because you know the people that you are surrounded by. I also know that if it is at a smaller party then if something does happen to me I will be taken care of.
I get that small parties aren't for everyone and people may like the fact that they can go dance, but that's not the type of person that I am. Sure I like to dance, but not all the time. Especially if it is unnecessarily crowded where people are shoving into others trying to walk to somewhere that may be less crowded; or having sweaty people constantly run into while trying to dance. Those things don't sound pleasing to me. When I do "dance" it's not for long and it's with a couple of people.
Small parties will always be better than a massive one. I don't think my opinion on this will ever change either. I just don't have fun when I am at bigger parties, which I feel like in a way is odd for a college student, but not unusual. Small parties are way better than big ones and you can't change my mind.
