Okay, okay. I have read through your posts and I must say I was surprised with some of the views.

First, thanks to those who actually posted ideas for decorations. That is a big help. I'll post photos of the lodge when it gets decorated.

Secondly, when I say "theme" I actually mean a general slogan. The theme is used in the recruitment t-shirt design and how the panhellenic lodge is decorated. We are focusing on the colors of the sororities more than anything. Below is the design of the t-shirt.


Our university is very conservative and located on the Bible belt. Nothing sexy or suggestive will be used for the theme. So no, there will not be underwear hanging from the ceiling or photos of models in lingerie. Yea, a banner that says “Dress as Trashy as Possible, Party Every Night, Blow Off College” will be displayed. Not really. There are risks with every theme. A sports theme can appear too butch, a Tiffany’s theme too girly, or the puzzle piece and road sign themes can seem stale and cheesy. The key to using this theme is to do it in a tasteful manner, focusing on the décor and style not the lingerie.

The theme is based on the VS Pink brand. The stripes, the dog, the crest and the decor of the VS store are used for inspiration. Like it was pointed out before, many other sororities have used the Victoria's Secret theme for their Bid Day.

As for using too much pink, blue will be used instead since it is one of our university colors.

I highly doubt that PNMs will notice that the theme is based on VS. If they relate the use of stripes, dogs, and collegiate decor to lingerie and being too sexy then they have looked too much into the theme. VS Pink theme is about being yourself, confident, and having fun. Is that not encouraged in a sorority?
