Rice University in Houston, Texas, has canceled campus parties after spring break after an underwear and underwear-themed party ended up with seven students in the hospital.
The university’s student newspaper, the Rice Thresher, reported that the Night of Decadence party held at a residential college on campus was shut down early on Oct. 29 due to the presence of campus police and medics.
Night of Decadence is an underwear and lingerie-themed party at Rice University, according to FOX 26. It was discontinued this year after seven students were rushed to a nearby hospital due to intoxication.
More than a dozen people were treated at the scene.

As a result, public parties across campus are canceled through spring break, which will run from March 9-17.

“The university is taking immediate action and canceling public parties across campus through spring break in response to the events at last weekend’s ‘Night of Decadence’ party. Additionally, ‘Night of Decadence’ will be placed on probation, with reduced capacity and enhanced security protocols at future parties,” Falk said.
