My school never really did Panhellenic "themes," and I don't really get the point. But then again, Panhellenic at W&L never has to recruit PNMs, so it's a little different.
That said, my freshman year the Panhel shirts were "GO GREEK" in HUGE letters on the front, and on the back were all the chapters' letters inside the school symbol. Each chapter had a shirt in their own colors (Pi Phi were light blue, Kappa was blue, Theta dark yellow, KD green, Chi O red). Panhel exec and rho gams had a different color.
One day a week, all members were asked to wear the shirts. It was REALLY effective. As a freshman, I didn't really know the names of all the houses but I could remember the colors.
Obviously, this wouldn't work on a campus with more than 6 or 7 houses (not nearly enough different colors), but it was a really great show of how many DIFFERENT women were Greek.
