A popular fad on college and university campuses, a toga party is a particular kind of costume party in which everyone wears a toga, or a semblance thereof, normally made from a bed sheet, and sandals. Toga parties were depicted in the 1978 film Animal House, which propelled the ritual into a widespread and enduring practice. Ivan Reitman was one of the producers of Animal House, who attended Wake Forest University and stayed in Collins Hall.
