How do you keep your themes going all night?

So I've been to quite a few themed parties thrown by different houses on campus, and for some reason only a few have had the theme go all night. Most of the time everyone gets really drunk and gives up with the theme.

My question is how do you keep people interested in the theme, even after the 4th keg tapped out?

I love theme parties. They are so much more interesting than the regular ones. It's true many of the themes fizzle out within the hour though. One way to keep the theme alive is to have related music..maybe the special song play every half n hour or one hour where everyone will need to dance. ANother is of course games!

Tell everyone to wear a white shirt and have a grafatti mixer give out markers and stuff, everyone writes on each other shirts its a great idea and will last for hours
