New trend: Naked College Parties?

An underground trend is attracting a number of college students - naked parties and the name says it all. These nude parties are held all over the country.

College parties are notorious for pushing the envelope. Animal House is one thing but this however is another. "The way it was billed was don't be a prude, come to the nude party," said a Penn student who did not want to be identified.

The junior at Penn agreed to talk to CBS 3 if we disguised his face and voice since only his dad knows about the parties he has come to love. "It's a very clever set up. It's a house with four stories," said the student:

1st Floor:
He says the first floor is for people with clothes.

2nd Floor:
2nd floor is underwear only.

3rd and 4th Floor:
Third and fourth floor are reserved for those who choose to bare all.

"I just went wearing a hat, a bow tie and an overcoat, so I went straight to the 3rd floor," explained the student. No more than a hundred or so people attend these parties at one time. So it's no wonder there are many students at Penn who've never heard of them.

"Not that I heard of, if there are I'd like to go," said one Penn student. The Insider recently reported on these parties after a New York Magazine writer went to one undercover at Yale.

That's where, years ago, President Bush's daughter Barbara is reported to have gone to a naked party. One woman attended a nude party and says some students did hear some pretty wild stories.

"One room will turn into basically the sex room," said the woman. But according to reports, most naked parties are sex free. Our Penn student says he never saw people cross the line.

When asked if it was sexually charged though, the Penn student replied by saying, "There is somewhat of sexual nature, optional," said the student, adding, "A lot of people do go home together after the party. It's an atmosphere that encourages people getting together." Article w/video is here.
