Wellness darties—a blend of "wellness" and the college slang term for a daytime party—represent a growing Gen Z social trend that trades traditional boozy keggers for health-focused, substance-free gatherings. These events typically take place on fraternity lawns or outdoor spaces where red solo cups are swapped for yoga mats, resistance bands, and post-workout matchas. A typical wellness darty itinerary combines the high-energy social atmosphere of a classic day party—complete with live DJs and large crowds—with physical activities like Pilates, group runs, cold plunges, and saunas. Driven by a broader cultural shift toward intentional socializing and mindful drinking, the trend has quickly spread across major campuses. USA Today's Rachel Hale joins LiveNOW's Alexandra Goldberg to discuss the trend.
