date party
Paired social gathering
A date party is a social event, typically organized by a college fraternity or sorority, where each member brings a date.
Unlike open parties, attendance is limited to members and their invited guests, creating a more intimate atmosphere: The sorority's date party had a Hawaiian theme this year.
The term is primarily American college slang.
