Maybe go with something that reflects the personality of your house.

We did a total rush makeover while I was an active, and totally changed the face and image of our chapter (much for the better!).

One of our goals was to show that we were more trendy that perhaps our reputation was. One of our themes was "party animals" and everyone wore some sort of animal print, and there was animal print everywhere, and one side of our suite was made to look like a club. It was fun and different! And everyone remembered it and was talking about it between parties. We wanted to show that we had fun, and we did!

I think we may have done KD Angels... lots of clouds and light colors and blue, making it look like heaven. And our skit was using the Charlie's Angels song that Destiny Child did.

My chapter wasn't one that could pull off or even wanted to pull off something cheesy and fake. We could've never done some of the standards.

Be UNIQUE! Send out an email on your chapter's list serve, just to brainstorm.

Use some sort of song that's current and trendy.

These are just some random ideas. Show your personality, don't try to mold to an old standard that's boring and tired.
