In the Pleistocene era when I went through rush (yes, in 1973, we were Rushees...) one of the houses had, in addition to other goodies, a large beautifully carved watermelon basket filled with icy cold fruit kabobs on little decorative skewers. The basket was garnished with edible flowers and there were more flowers strewn around it on the table.
Double whammy, as it served as both a gorgeous centerpiece and yummy refreshments. On a 100+ degree afternoon in Oklahoma, it was lovely...
