The pig masks were a bit cartoonish but I've seen weirder things connected to Frat houses so why not?
When I was in college, "pig parties" meant something entirely different: the goal was for each frat member to invite the ugliest girl possible, for the dates not to be forewarned of the selection criteria but to be allowed to figure it out themselves, and for a Queen Pig to be declared at the climax.
(I've never heard a firsthand account of this practice; it always seems to be the fraternity down the block, leading me to hope that this is purely an urban legend.
Also, not to be confused with pig pickin' (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pig_pickin') or the Pig Parties (http://www.grassrootsonline.org/what-you-can-do/host-event/pig-party) devoted to restoring heirloom pig breeds to Haiti.)
