High school, college, and prom… isn’t it the best combination of fun and “young romance”? Well, things might get picky, and every college doesn’t need to have its prom. In 2022, there will still be a very small number of colleges that have taken such an initiative to have Prom. Why? Organizing a prom is a lot of work, and it is not easy to guard the entire event and protect it from any obscene scenes happening.
Let us look more closely at it. No wonder prom is fun, but you also have to understand the consequences that follow. For a batch of freshers or high school seniors, the event is a big one to organize. There are a lot of arrangements to be made, a lot of invitations to be sent out, a lot of planning, and it still never guarantees any untenable events. Although prom night is fancy, it still takes a lot of work.
Let us look at the reasons why it is getting more difficult for colleges to organize. Keep reading to find out the X-factors of prom night and tips for dressing up. Here we go:
Why Is Prom Night Not a Fiesta In Every College?
The two prime reasons why most colleges do not have a prom are:
- Arranging prom nights isn’t easy!
- It involves a lot of risks!
Let’s get down to the details.
- Arranging prom nights isn’t easy!
Prom nights are mostly for teenagers. High school seniors and freshmen are among the invitees. Colleges somehow do not fit into the requirements. College prom is hence very rare. But that isn’t the main reason behind it. Arranging such a grand event for more than a hundred people is never easy. The arrangement, theme, and cost-bearing are all quite a lot to track. More than half of the costs will be borne by the students themselves. Everything combined still doesn’t add up to the fact that prom nights indirectly mean doing drugs and drinking alcohol. Most of them are under-aged, and it will be a punishable offense to participate in any such obscene event.
- It involves a lot of risks!
As mentioned, alcohol is the supreme reason why colleges do not allow prom nights. Who wants to take so much risk and keep the institute’s reputation at stake? We are all aware of all the unintentional dramas that take place at such events. It only takes a second or two for all the obscene scenarios to happen. With all the glitz and glamour that a prom night carries, it is also true that there are many cases of illegal business happening all around us on a single night.
- Prom is for teenagers, not for college faculties.
Prom Night holds more significance in the high school years than in the college years. Why? Colleges have a large number of students and organizing such an event for a larger mass has always been difficult. It is no joke to pull off the smallest of events, and prom night is indeed a big deal. Prom Night is designed for teenagers. It has always been that. Hence, it adds up as one reason for colleges to organize such proms.
What Other Events Do Colleges Have If Not Proms?
While prom night is dedicated to dates and young romance, colleges do encourage fiestas that involve a lot of competition and fun. Dances and concerts are happening on one side, while art and culture are happening on the other. College life does hit differently. Who would not want to experience all of that and more? Although prom is not the end of everything, the events that are organized by colleges that involve dances and not just formal dance alone are a complete package of thrills and excitement.
