This year, the event will include females. “I think there's a stigma against girls just being outgoing and showing off. A lot of the routines in the past years have been provocative, and if a girl does something provocative there is a bigger consequence for her than it is for a guy,” senior Rachel Lorenc said.

Since last March, the class of 2014 E-Board has been planning for their prom. The prom will be held at the Hyatt Regency Boston on May 18, 2013, and Kevin Capasso will be the DJ. “I think it’s going to be great," O'Neil said. "I think it’s going to be similar to last year’s prom, but not too similar that it feels like the same event."
