Our only truly themed night was the first night (Oh yes, Sigmas
in the City). Philanthropy and skit nights didn't seem to need that. In fact one group carried that Wizard of Oz theme through the whole week and it was, based on the no-longer-PNMs I talked to, poorly received.
Honestly I think it's an easy way to decorate. You have to pick colors anyway, you're going to be picking a theme for the decor so you might as well pick something people will recognize. That said, Our SitC theme just meant we wore black and pink, our decor was black silver and pink and we had faux skyline decorations in the student center room we used for the first night. (And I suspect having a theme is all the more useful in situations like ours where we're in a big ballroom/conference room and not a house.)
