A cookie shine is a celebration of Pi Beta Phi heritage and can be as varied as our chapters are. It can be part of the festivities surrounding initiation and pledging but can also be at random times (surprise cookie shines are great ways to spark energy).
Many chapters use a decorated sheet to gather around for cookie shines after initiation, or the Big Sis revealing where the sheet is signed. It then becomes a part of chapter history. That is not the only time a cookie shine is done, and the set up can vary, depending on the situation but the use of a sheet makes it convenient to set out gifts or other treats.
You can also pick one special piece of Pi Beta Phi history and expand it. Jane Heiserman, Alumnae Director for Region 6 has planned some very fun, creative cookie shines for the Officers and for my alumnae Club. Your Regional Programming Specialist is another good resource for you.
If your cookie shines never vary, they may become mundane so I applaud your desire to add some spice!
