This is contrary to the custom of male students typically inviting female students to school dances such as prom in the spring and Homecoming in the fall . </P> <P> The Sadie Hawkins dance is named after the Li'l Abner comic strip character Sadie Hawkins, created by cartoonist Al Capp . In the strip, Sadie Hawkins Day fell on a given day in November (Capp never specified an exact date). The unmarried women of Dogpatch got to chase the bachelors and "marry up" with the ones that they caught . The event was introduced in a daily strip which ran on November 15, 1937 . Unlike traditional dances, where the men chase the women, this empowers women to chase after what they want and not just wait for it to walk their way . </P>
