AMEN to that. On my campus they are beyond insane!

lyrelyre,

at UT-Austin they also write the names on the dreamcakes or on the plates. They have these plates with AXO written on them-I think they are so cute. I don't know when they get there pref list and how much time they have but a couple of rushes ago I was helping out and I had to write the names on the plates-I have such horrible handwriting (my mom says that it fits with me since I am a Dr.) that I finally got so frustrated I gave the job to someone else. I think you guys should try it, find 3 or 4 girls that write well and let them practice for a few hrs. It really makes a difference -more personalized. Most of the time they would order too many and ohhhh were those cakes good-I want one rt. now. We also had choc. covered strawberries.

I don't remember what we did at A&M, I think we also had dreamcakes but we actually started writing specific notes to rushees that prefed our house. Each of the chapter members would usually pref at least one PNM and would write a personilized note to them-if you your panhel would let you do this I highly recommend it as the PNM were speachless and many of them started crying-it really made the PNM feel special and that was so neat to see.

Holy God....
 

If Anything ever illustrated the differences between the men's recruitment process and the women's recruitment process better than this thread, I have yet to see it. (I am not slamming, as I understand how important and special these things are to ya'll, because of the extreme limits placed on you all in the recruitment process - its important to stand out wherever you can)

I can assure you we think of food about an hour before the event, and at that frantically send someone off to the deli for a few sandwich trays. We do go eat during rush, but not a single brother of mine would rave about the wings.

Could you imagine me, damasa, james, deltalum, KABM, the Ksigs, beef, zntke and TOM talking about the deserts that were served to us during rush? Now that would be a sight.
