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.
🚨 Why a Slip & Slide? Because You’re Not Boring.
-
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?
🔧 What You’ll Need for the Ultimate Slide
🛠️ 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
⚙️ Setup 101 (No Engineering Degree Needed)
-
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.
💦 Turn It Into a Mini Water Games Tournament
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)
🎶 Party Vibes Checklist
-
Bluetooth speaker + fire playlist
-
Towels, sunscreen, flip flops
-
Cooler with drinks + popsicles
-
Optional: theme it (tropical luau? red/white/blue? toga remix?)
🧼 Safety Stuff (Because Lawsuits Are Lame)
-
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.
♻️ After the Fun: Reuse That Plastic Sheeting
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
