Okay as a guy,
isn't it funny how heaven and hell parties have hell in the basement and heaven up stairs where all the bedrooms are? Just a point.
However, here a couple of ideas (dry and wet)
dry:
Rootbeer kegger... its kinda funny, but can give you a stomach ache. Keg stands are a must. Also, everyone usually prefunks so in reality its just a mixer.
Trading Spaces Social. Okay, we've never done it but it might be done next quarter in the spring.
WET
Studio 54 theme... VIP rooms are a must. All the girls will try to get into the VIP just because its the VIP. Usually champagne will be in the room. And the rest of the party will have a normal studio 54 atmosphere. (can be expensive)
"White Trash" or "Bum" if you will.
Rent a large moving truck. Get some couches and a stereo and park it in the back of the house or front I guess and throw a white trash or Bum themed party. WT usually works better. Very cheap.
We had a party that we always did called "loggers brawl". It was very interesting. The front door was a window that you had to climb a ladder to get to. The front door was locked so the only way in was the window. A slide brought you down into the party (down the main staircase. Usually consisted of dinner before of pancakes and coffee. And then a spowty (however you spell it) at the party. A maze was also incorporated after the window entrance. You may find yourself in room of vines and stuff like that( "treehouse"). These were usually like make out rooms or whatever. The whole dance floor was filled with a layer of hay. Tha people would kick around. A lot of country music. girls love it. and guys can bear it. It was a great party. very expensive though.
Mud Bowl party
mud wrestling or relay with teams of two going up against other teams of two in a tournament setting. Its amazing how physical girls can get when they really want that water weenie. If you want, there is a video at this website:

Hope any of that helped anyone.
