Also check out Oriental Trader for decorations - their stuff is pretty cute and really cheap. They always have hawaiian, mardi gras etc.
You don't necessarily have to do anything big either. One group where I advised had all the women put their drop on a black ribbon and they all wore red shirts and black capris. It stood out, but wasn't really a theme.
I think that these things help the PNM's remember the chapters and that there isn't anything wrong with that. I know that when I went to school we had 5 Alpha something chapters and it was really confusing if you weren't familiar with all the chapter names. Using what happened that day at the event is a good way to make sure the PNM puts the correct chapter down on her acceptance list. Over the years I have heard many times that a PNM intended to put down XYZ chapter but put down XYY chapter in error. They have so much going on and are so excited about the process, it's hard for them to remember everything during the "rush".
