UNDIE RUN

This event is the culmination of a all the partying you have ever done your entire life. This event will single-handedly change the way you percieve life. This event is the reason why we Sun Devils live life...What event am I refering to? The ASU UNDIE RUN!!!!!! Since 2007 ASU students have been celebrating the end of each school year with a half naked stroll around campus. The Undie Run is a clothing donation drive where all the ASU students are invited to the SRC fields to literally donate the clothes off their back. In 2007, 5000 students attended and the total attendance numbers in the years following have been 7,500 and 12,500 respectively. I have attended each year and it is always my favorite memory of the year. There is nothing comparable to partying on a football field, with all of your classmates, in your underwear! The entire event is a spectacle. They have sponsors such as Red Bull, Vitamin Water, Muscle Milk, and Tempe12 there handing out free stuff for everybody. The stage has a great DJ every year that gets people hyped up for an hour before the start of the run. Usually people would not be inclined to run around a bunch of strangers in their underwear but for some reason on the day of Undie Run, everybody is cool with it. I remember thinking that I had died and went to heaven when I attended as a freshman. There were so many attractive women it is impossible for me to put it in words. The Undie Run will most certianly be my favorite memory from my experience here at ASU.

Advice:The Undie Run is for everybody and it doesn't matter what you look like. Keeping that in mind I'll offer my advice of working out a few times in the weeks prior to the Undie Run because a lot of people are going to see you in your underwear. And if you don't have the rock solid chest, I adivse in purchasing "special" attire for the occasion. (maybe new slik boxers or a gorilla suit) You don't want to be "that guy"in all the pictures unless that's your thing, then own it. 

Scottsdale Clubs

After visiting Mill Ave on your 21st birthday and getting a taste of what it is like for a 21+ Sun Devil you assume things can't get much better...You're wrong! If your 21 and haven't been to Scottsdale yet, "Quit staining yourself McGunson!" Scottsdale simply is the place to be. It's a miniature Las Vegas club scene with more plastic girls and fist pumping then an episode of Jersey Shore. Mill Ave is the place to go when you want to go out but you don't want to spend that much money. Scottsdale is the place you go when you want to be surrounded by beautiful looking people and over-priced mixed drinks.

One of the best parts of Scottsdale is the upper-class vibe of the entire club scene. The strict dress codes and the fact that Scottsdale is located a few miles away from campus gives the club scene an exclusive type of appeal. Clubs such as Smashboxx have a great vibe with VIP tables located close to the dance floor and a crazy dance atmosphere. However, if the wild craziness isn't your thing, clubs such as Dollhouse and The Mint might be more your vibe with their lounge style decor. Either way, the best way to get there is via party bus with all of your friends. If you network properly, after you turn 21 you will most likely know a few club promoters. If this is the case you are at an advantage because they can help you navigate Scottsdale quicker and cheaper. No more long lines, VIP ONLY. Promoters can also help get your group of friends to Scottsdale. Many promoters host pregames which is extremely important because after you arrive in Scottsdale you are subject to consuming $9-$15 drinks unless one of your friends has VIP bottle service. Another benefit of attending a promoters pregame is that they usually reserve a few party buses for everybody to ride to the club in.

Advice: Become friends with promoters. They can get you and your friends on the VIP list which will help you skip all the lines. Time is money and if you can save time, ultimately you can drink more!
