Orgy
A grass orgy is also known as a "grorgy" or a tummy chain.
The original grass orgies were somewhat innocent ha-ha-game-style piles of CTY-ers. But in recent years, grass orgies have grown to include any activity in which several CTY-ers are in a pile on the grass. A grass orgy held inside on the floor was, rationally, called a floor orgy, or floorgy.

When I was at Siena in 2002, a grass orgy meant rolling around in the grass entangled with as many people as possible, and making it look like everyone was making out with each other. Most of the time, no actually making out occured.
However, this year (2006) Siena has instituted a "no lying on the grass" rule, thus putting an end to grass orgies.

Hawaii (KNE)
Grorgies Have also spread to KNE but in a different style. A gorgy must be created when a "Keystone" (the comfiest person in the immediate area) lies down and spreads themselves out for about 3 or more people to sleep on top of them. These people then spread themselves out, and so on and so forth, until they become a massive entertwined amalgamation of limbs and such.
Every once in awhile these gorgies will take a towel or blanket to cover the mass with. This mostly is just to sheild the sun, but eventually people mess around. (YES it is still CTY apropriate) One final note: Attempt not to be the Keystone, because you will ultimately be smothered by everyone.

Saratoga Springs (Skidmore): Stummy Lays
Started by The Wright Brothers and the Blonde Squad, stummy lays (also known as tummy lies, grass orgies, and, with a slightly different shade of meaning, pregnancy circles), are a Skidmore Session 1 tradition that playfully protests PDA regulations. Its origins are shrouded in myth, but the most commonly told story goes as follows.
A member of the Wright Brothers and two members of the Blonde Squad were engaged in somewhat flirtatious behavior (tickling). Accosted by an RA who demanded that physical contact be kept to a bare minimum, they were told that the girls might get pregnant. The response was that the three of them started sitting on one another. Technically, this comprised the first "pregnancy circle." Eventually, stummy lays, where individuals rest their heads on one anothers' abdomens, evolved from this tradition.
The largest ever stummy lay occurred during the Bex Daily, where the reigning Emperor and sex god David "Bex" Becker ordered the over 100 CTYers present to form a pregnancy circle. Over a dozen RAs present stood by impotently.
Pregnancy circles and stummy lays have since been used to protest administration lunacy, read books, or just have a good time chatting.
A couch orgy is basically the same concept of a grass orgy except without grass and with couches instead!
The idea is to fit as many people on a couch as you can. Usually, everyone is insanely uncomfortable and sweaty (especially if Christ is on you...wow that sounded sick). It gets gross. But it is still a lot of fun!
Corgies are discouraged by RAs due to the potential for damage to furniture which was not designed to hold such a large number of people. There has been at least one instance where weight overload has led to couch damage (and subsequent couch replacement); the money to buy F&M a new couch was taken out of the CTY scholarship fund.
The most on record (at least for LAN 06.2) is 20 people on one three-person couch, one two-person couch, and two dining chairs.
Also, a couch orgy can be called a corgy or chorgy to shorten it up, but it doesn't sound nearly as fun as a couch orgy does.
