Sorority Food

My FAVORITE FAVORITE FAVORITE is chicken enchiladas with white sauce. Whenever we have that, all of it gets eaten and there are no left overs.

Our cook also makes really good soups.


Have you tried finding recipes you want to eat and giving them to your housemother/cooks? Our cook loves making new and different stuff based on our suggestions (probably because she gets bored making the same thing over and over lol)

Grilled chicken breasts and baked potatoes. Use Molly McButter instead of "real" butter on your potato.

You can also find some "eating clean" recipes here:

I read that real butter is actually better for you than artificial butter.

A good piece of advice is to avoid the temptation to go out to eat all the time. It's easy to get into the habit when you don't want any of the catered food on the house.

I use the "I can't believe its not Butter" spray, and its amazing.

The cook in our house used to always make pasta and breaded chicken, but he would still try to keep veggies on plates too. Your best bet towards eating healthier when you aren't making the food is to provide some recipes & see if your cook/house mom will make them.

have you talked to your house manager, or whatever you all call the sister who is in charge of communicating the needs of the house to the house mother and to the alumnae housing board? first, you may want to do this:

take a poll of your sisters to see if they feel the same way. ask them for suggested menu changes and approach your house manager. she , in turn, should speak to either the house corporation board(the local alumnae who make the decisions about the hiring and firing of the staff, approving bill payments, etc.) or the house mother. if one of your sisters is a nutrition major, maybe she could do a project by converting some of the "unhealthy" meal recipes to more healthy ones, or she could ask one of her professors to help.

does your house offer a salad bar during lunch and dinner?

i cannot remember what my favorite lunch and dinner was-we did have wonderful cooks(one for breakfast and lunch, and a different lady for dinner) and i do remember that the food was good.

going in armed and informed may improve your chances of effecting change.
