The Last Chance Dance takes place during Senior Week. This year's took place on May 20th at Alchemy, a nightclub in downtown New Haven. (Last year it was held in "The Whale," Ingalls Rink, where our hockey team plays, but a gas leak led to a premature evacuation, so they moved it to a club this year.) I just really like any event that rhymes, but this one's especially good. They create a website (you need a Yale Net ID to access it) that let's you "Crush" five people and give them clues as to who you are. If you get a match with someone, you find out who they are and they find out who you are and you can either skip the whole dance and just hook up the way you wanted to or you can still roll the dice at the big event. (Above is a screen shot of my page; my hints are clearly from my best senior friend Lauren, and then former sex week director Joe Citarrella, all in jest of course.)

The Last Chance Dance is basically an entire event based around horny people with nothing to do but have sex with each other until they get their diplomas. People have this totally high class vision of Yale like it's only our gorgeous castles and highly acclaimed professors. But after that we just really figure out a bunch of creative ways to get drunk and sleep with each other.
