YES, they do make edible glitter for cakes :-) And when Diamonds had a Disney themed party, I bet all of the Thetas "of a certain age" here knew exactly which group it was :D I sure did! I pledged in 1979 and remember that skit well.

The "Disney" aspect of the theme you wouldn't share made me think it was Theta.

Wow - and I thought I was being mysterious!

One thing I didn't mention was how ornate the name tags were! There was glitter everywhere during Rush, because each party meant a different name tag and more glitter. We had one skit with a Cinderella ("Cinder Pi") theme, and the name tags were three dimensional castles. I can remember ones that were large lollipops, gingerbread people, treasure chests, and other party themes, plus the obvious letters & symbols (kites, diamonds, lamps, owls, etc).

I was clueless, Honey. It's a generational thing.

I know this is an oldie, but goody, but when she talked about 2 candles, long white formals and a wishing well, I knew it was ADPi. I rushed in the early 80's at a different school and we had all those elements as well. We passed down our formals, when we graduated.

I miss the no frills rush. I understand why they don't do it now, but those were the days.....

I can remember seeing old yearbooks and pictures from other books, showing rush, and I expected the frills. But when I saw it in real life, I was absolutely amazed! It's never going to be done again, I suppose, but it would be great to see something along those lines again!

WOW! This was above and beyond what I expected when I asked for "All Frills" Rush stories! Thanks for pointing me to this amazing story!

WHAT? NO!!!!!!
If it wasn't for Talbot's, I'd be naked!

Luckily the quote about Talbots is like 10 years old! I am in my early 30s and LOVE Talbots. I just got their September catalog today and I need to hide my credit card!

Well...only 5 years old! :p Whew!

I have no idea why I have never read your story, but it was amazing!
