Ha! Aphigal! My chapter was theme-o-rama! The same year we did "Sound of Alpha Phi" we, too, did "The Little Mermaid" (known to our chapter as "Alpha Phi Under the Sea")!
I must say that one came off much better than "Sound of Alpha Phi." We filled hundreds of blue and green balloons and let them rise to the ceiling. We covered the walls in iridescent, shimmery paper to make it look as if it was "under the sea." It looked amazing. And, we had some super singers and actresses in our chapter. Where we always seemed to go wrong were the costumes for the chapter as a whole. I am too embarrassed to show you the outfits we wore. Suffice it to say, we looked like whacked out waitresses (think: "Mel's Diner" and the sassy waitress Flo) and crazed flight attendants. (We really had no advisors at all during this period and really could have used one at least.)
For the younger gals who don't know: In the early 90s everyone did mega theme parties -- Many variations on Disney animated movies and such. I think those have fallen out of vogue now. The skits -- at least in my observation -- tend to be more sophisticated.
