To name your party in a clever way, use a play on hip-hop terminology, and call your Fresher's Day Party the Fresh Jam. Then, plan lots of cool hip-hop music, and, if you like, ask people to dress up in their best street-inspired and hip-hop inspired fashions. Since American culture is so appreciative of hip-hop and its influence on fashion, you can create a cool, urban vibe that people will really enjoy. The Fresh Jam could also feature live entertainment from local rappers who might perform for a very low rate, just to get a little bit of exposure in the community. With a bit of planning, you can make this party pop, and advertising could be done with homemade posters created by an artistic friend.
Catering this sort of casual college celebration doesn't have to be challenging - people can enjoy a barbecue setup and bring their own snacks, such as chips and soda (and booze). If you want to make the food, go for a cool Southern barbecue vibe by roasting pork or chicken over the grill and rubbing it with marinades and spices.
Make some potato salad, but make sure it's refrigerated well. Cole slaw, fresh melon, and fun cupcake desserts could round out this fabulous feast. If this all sounds too pricey, consider selling tickets to your bash before the big day - charging five bucks per person could get them a pulled pork sandwich and fixings, and they could bring their own beer. As crazy as it sounds, some college students have made a ton of money promoting and throwing parties like these, so get creative and make your Fresh Jam totally unforgettable.
If you don't like this idea, talk to some friends and see what they can come up with - a theme makes a party fun, but it doesn't have to be fancy or too elaborate. Just make sure there is money, space, and some kind of excellent refreshments.
