Sorority food
A comment I read on another thread got me to thinking . . .is there any food especially associated with your GLO? For Gamma Phis, peanuts and olives are a long-standing tradition. Depending on who is telling the story, another group (Alpha Phi? Fraternity boys?) broke into the Gamma Phi Beta banquet room and stole all the food for a post-initiation meal - except for the peanuts and olives. So, peanuts and olives are traditionally served after initiation. There is even a "Peanuts and Olive" song in the old songbook.
More recently, my alumnae groups in Texas always served what we called Gamma Phi dip - equal parts artichoke hearts, mayonaise, and parmesan cheese - whip it all together in your food processor - put in oven-proof dish and bake until bubbly and brown on top. Yummy on crackers.
Any other interesting/and or tasty food traditions?
