Frequently Asked Questions
When is the Orange and Black Ball?
It's October 19th at 11:00 pm - Friday of Homecoming weekend! Tigers take on Harvard the next day - get pumped for an awesome weekend!
What is the dress code?
The official attire is "Black Tie Optional", which means that although we encourage attendants to dress formally for the event, it is in no way required.
Do I have to wear orange and black?
No, you can wear any color you want as long as you bring along your Tiger Spirit.
How much does a ticket cost?
Nothing! With the generous help from the Alcohol Initiative, the Office of Student Life, the Office of the Dean of Undergraduate and your collective Class Governments, this event is available to students free of charge.
Do I need a date?
Not at all! All are encouraged to attend. The most important aspect of the OBB is that every Princeton undergraduate feels welcome and invited to what should be an all-campus affair.
Are the classifieds in the 'Need a Date?' section for real?
Not really. But, if you have a classified to contribute, be sure to send it to us at [email protected]!
I don't own a tux...where can I get one?
Tuxes are not required! But, if you're interested, you can find information from Princeton Student Agencies.
