Just as most of the others have said, a theme makes you more memorable. During COB, we tend to serve hot apple pie a la mode (with a twist!), and call it "Apple Delta Pie" (I know, too precious).

One GREAT idea I saw once that would really help the chapters with a low budget was a sorority who chose a Mexican theme for EVERY party. They just put a different spin on it for each party, and saved a TON of money on decorations - to say nothing about frazzled nerves!! I'm trying to think of their party names, but two that I can were something like On the Border & Viva La XYZs.
