If the real story is the real story, I want to know why we didn't go with the chocolatetaire!

LOL!! Seriously!
Can't you just see a bunch of 20-year-olds laughing at the "chocolatetaire" name the alum came up with, though? Sounds a bit hoity-toity. And then mocking that with the "peanutetaire" name? It sounds to me like this was a private joke that's lasted through the ages.
Now that I've heard of this delightful Cookie Shine concept, I am almost retroactively reconsidering not having listed Pi Phi first on my bid card. I'm almost certain there was no cookie shine talk during rush.
I never would have guessed that it was a Gamma Phi chapter!
Our IH has been discouraging local mascots, colors, etc. I agree with this. A resolution was made at a recent Convention to look into making the old Gammie Bug a mascot. The resolution was voted down. The current philosophy is very much geared toward "back to basics and what the Founders did." So, I don't think peanuts and olives will go away!
