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.
