in my day,
the sigma chi's had each sorority submit a theme suggestion based on the sigma chi's overall theme--such as fairy tales as the general theme and then the sororities would submit things like sleeping beauty, goldilocks and the 3 bears, cinderella, etc. they were all put into a hat and each sorority representative chose with her eyes closed. whatever your representative chose was what you based everything to do with derby days on. the year we won the general theme was tv shows and we got "sesame street", which we turned into sigma chi street. our derby daddy appeared in our skit decked out like kermit the frog and he sung the song,"it's not easy being Greek", based on the kermit song<"it's not easy being green. each sorority dressed up their sweetheart and about a dozen or so of us worked on an oscar the grouch costume for him, complete with trash can. except that the costume was orange, not green, it was the spittin'image. each group also did yard decorations and our front yard looked like sesame street complete with all the most popular characters-local parents of little kids would bring their kids by and take photos of their kids posing with the figures and we even made the local news! i can't imagine doing derby days without a theme-it just makes everything so much easier. good luck to you.
