Really? Where is this common in the South?

Sometimes liqour stores will provide us with signs and a bunch of random shit, but not booze.

I visited Florida during the week before rush one year and every house had a Domino's (I think, it may have been Hungry Howie's) logo at the bottom of their rush banner. I asked why and that was the explanation I got.

I wish that our rush was sponsered. That would have made things so much easier. Thankfully/luckily we had a couple of brothers that worked at a restaurant and got us some discounts on platters. I think we got one for free and two for half price in exchange for passing out menus in the packets on move in day or something like that. It was years ago.

For Pizza?

I mean, pizza's cheap you know. Alot of houses here serve sushi and steak for rushees. (Rush is structured differently)

They did have a lot better food for dinner, they just had some sort of food ordered in as snacks during their mixers (Outback, pizza, etc.)

We don't do the sponsorship thing here either, but it was every single house at UF, so I don't know if their IFC negotiated it or what.
