At UCLA, they are supposed to. (I approved them for my chapter for 5 years as Social Advisor at UCLA.) But I've heard of chapters getting them approved (by Advisors and the Greek Life office) then CHANGING the theme to something they knew would NOT be approved.
Example: We had a date party with a prohibition theme, where guys would dress up as gangsters and girls in flapper dresses.
The day before the party, I got copied on an email (probably by accident) that since people were having trouble finding costumes, that the theme would be changed to "Anything Illegal".
My prompt response was if attendees dressed up as anything besides gangsters and molls, they would not be allowed to get on the bus. There was not going to be someone dressed up in all green to be "Weed" or someone dressed in all white to be "Cocaine".
That squashed many alternative costumes.
