For our lawn display we first came up with the idea (obviously)...they group the greek houses into Triads (usually one sorority and 2 fraternities) and the homecoming chairpersons get together and discussed the possibilities.
Once you have an idea, I'd say start by drawing diagrams, and figuring how big it is going to be. Try to make the plans detailed as possible. Then go buy your supplies, and find the other things you might need (like we had to find cornstalks and tractor tires). If you are going to pomp the display dont forget the chicken wire and LOTS of tissue paper, as well as some sort of adhesive (I think we used wall paper paste...you can get big tubs and then just brush it on the chicken wire so the tissue paper sticks)
Once the supplies are assembled, let the fraternity men build the frame. Then staple the chicken wire to the frame, call the sorority to come over, cut the tissue paper into squares about 5 inches by 5 inches, then slap some glue on the wire and start putting tissue paper into the holes. It will be time consuming but worth it (I hope!). Usually the girls only come over do the tissue paper part.
If you need to clarify on anything just post again, or better yet PM me...
