Move over flip cup and beer pong—there’s a new king of campus parties. If your house crushed it this semester, it’s time to level up the celebration with a backyard Slip & Slide Bash that’ll blow your group chat wide open.
We’re talking full-send summer vibes:
🔥 Sunshine, soap suds, and sliding mayhem
💦 Nonstop laughs
📸 Ridiculously Instagrammable moments
Whether you’re throwing a Greek-wide rager, hyping up your rush week, or just rewarding your chapter for showing up and showing out, this is not your average hangout. This is legendary-tier fun—and it’s easier to pull off than you think.
Endless chaos for bros, sisters, and whoever else shows up
Stupid easy setup (no handyman degree required)
Cheap AF but looks like a million bucks on Instagram
Ideal for BBQs, rush week, spirit weeks, or just a random Thursday
Let’s be real: when else is belly-flopping socially acceptable?
🛠️ Supplies:
Heavy-duty plastic sheeting (10-20 mil = slippery & strong)
Garden hose or sprinkler
A small hill or gentle slope (no cliffs pls)
Dish soap (go wild, but not too wild)
Pool noodles or something soft for the sides
Optional: Inflatable kiddie pool at the end for that movie-scene splash finale
Find a grassy area with minimal “ouch” factor (no rocks, no regrets).
Roll out your plastic down the slope.
Line the sides with pool noodles so nobody launches into the bushes.
Stake it down (tent stakes work—bonus if you cover them with foam).
Hit it with the hose or set up sprinklers to keep it soaked.
Add dish soap. Carefully. You want slide, not bubble rave.
🎬 Show time.
You could just slide… or you could turn this into an all-out competition. Ideas:
Slip & Slide Races 🏁
Water Balloon Relay 🎈 (toss while sliding—yes, it’s hilarious)
Best Splash Contest 🌊 (judged by the loudest cheers)
Obstacle Course Slide (pool floats + squirt guns = chaos)
Bluetooth speaker + fire playlist
Towels, sunscreen, flip flops
Cooler with drinks + popsicles
Optional: theme it (tropical luau? red/white/blue? toga remix?)
Scout the area for rocks and roots ahead of time.
No diving (seriously, don’t be that guy).
Use non-toxic soap and rinse off after.
If it's dark out, pack it up—don’t ruin the lawn or risk injuries.
You can still get mileage out of that slip & slide plastic:
Cover for outdoor events or tailgates
Halloween haunted house maze walls
DIY tarp for camping or float building
Makeshift rain blocker for porch parties
Don’t mess around with wimpy tarps—talk to the pros who actually know what makes an epic Slip & Slide happen.
