Etymology
Orgy comes from the ancient Greek word orgia, which meant 'secret rites' where people danced, drank, and gave themselves to strong feeling. Over time this idea of wild, uncontrolled excitement moved into normal speech, so orgy now often means a loud party with too much drinking and sexual activity.
