Angels and angles, if there isn't a cookie shine for parents' weekend, I'm making it happen!
The cookie shine has a song/chant that goes with the passing of the cookies, as well. We always have a lot of fun singing it and clapping along at my chapter while the tray gets passed.
"Here's to the Pi Phi cookie shine, here's to the friendships true
Nothing's as fine as a cookie shine under the wine and blue!"
And then we always do a few whoops before we launch into the next verse.

A few whoops! Not sure the whoops were a part of the first Cookie Shine in Lawrence, KS, but then again, no one is coming to it in a horse and buggy :-)
Yes, please have a Cookie Shine for Parents Weekend and then make sure to sing Ring Ching.

When I was touring Colorado State many moons ago, I went over to the Pi Phi house to visit. They invited me to eat lunch with them and we sang Ring Ching and they were clanging their forks loudly on the glasses during the chorus. I was because when our chapter sang it, we daintily tinkled our forks on the glasses.
Not that we were a dainty chapter! It was my first realization, though, that sororities' chapters vary.
