In the Fall 1949 Triad, both the California and Oregon State chapters reported "getting the ball rolling" on the national theme dance.
The first report of the dance came from the Oregon State Chapter in the Winter 1950 Triad:
"We are planning a dance called the 'Night on the Nile' in accordance with the resolutions made during the regional conclave held here this Fall. All of the West Coast chapters are planning a similar dance and we hope that this will be the inception of a retailer National Fraternity social event — a dance that is known throughout the fraternity world as being distinctive of the Acacia Fraternity."
By 1951, the Night on the Nile theme dance had made its way east hitting Colorado, Arizona, Kansas, Kansas State, Penn State, Nebraska, Wisconsin and Wyoming. It wasn't until 1960 that the proper spelling of "Night" was pared down to "Nite," possibly for aesthetic reasons.
