It would almost be worth going just to see what an "engineers-only" party thrown by IEEE is like.
On second thought, no it wouldn't.

No offense to anyone, but this might be a good place to flyer and recruit new blood.

Hey, so do I. My wife and most of my friends are engineers of one sort or another. In fact, I have an engineering background myself. I'm a full-fledged, card-carrying, equation-solving member of the tribe. Which is why I feel entitled to make fun of engineers- it's not offensive if it comes from an insider. On the other hand, I would never joke about humanities majors- to their faces, anyway.

But, c'mon, even the biggest engineerophile in the world has to admit that, any time you see the words "party" and "IEEE" in the same sentence, the odds of there being great things in store are smaller than epsilon.

otoh, it is really scary for female engineers to go to an engineers only party.
