We could only serve the top-tier cheesecake.

Yes, ma'am (or is that ma'ams, if we're speaking of your 450 pound, er, top-tier?)! I had a couple other scholarships, but since I was 16 when I graduated from high school, my parents didn't think I was mature enough to go away to school (I wasn't!). I was to go to Pitt for a year, then transfer to William & Mary, but as they say about best laid plans...
Btw, petit fours can be wonderful, or nasty. Ours were made by a special bakery and were fantastic!

We actually don't have food on pref party day... Is that strange?
We serve milkshakes for skit day (a holdover from when "Grease" was our skit, but they're too tasty to do away with) and change up the desserts every year for dessert parties. In the past, we've done chocolate mousse, lemon sorbet in lemon cups, and, most recently, tiramisu.

We don't have food for pref party either - limitations due to no frills rush. We do however, serve sparkling cider in champagne flutes, with 2 strawberries on the glass.

We did that for Skit Day, except we used ginger ale and a rasberry. It turned out very cute!

One thing we had was an arrow cake and when each PNM pulled on a wine-colored ribbon, her name came out on a tiny card. I wish I could remember how we got each girl to pull on the right ribbon, maybe they were alphabetical. Anyway, it always caused a lot of gasps.

This wasn't for Pref, but we did a Cinderella themed party, and actually made a punch bowl out of the biggest pumpkin we could find and made it look like a pumpkin coach. Then we found a place that would sell dry ice, so we'd put a piece in the punch so it would mist up and look pretty wild!

The ZTA house at our school always had a cheeseball, and it was excellent. The ZTA advisor was also the Panhel advisor for awhile during the end of my time there and she brought it in one time. So good. Our chapter did what a lot of other posters have said - chocolate dipped strawberries, cookies, brownies, punch.

The DG's here have had an anchor shaped ice scuplture in the past. I'm not sure if they had it this year.

Thank you all for the compliments on our "carriage punch bowl"! That whole skit was a send-up on Cinderella, with the Fairy Godmother waving a plunger & talking in a Brooklyn accent, the Prince wearing a Burger King crown, and the "mice" wearing Mickey Mouse ears!
It was my favorite non-Pref skit!

PS - We had a 100% return rate on this party! Every other sorority was decorating to the nines, and we went low key, and served salads.

we served anthill pie. you crushed oreos, sprinkled one layer in a 13 x 9 pan, spread softened peppermint ice cream over that, then sprinkled the remaining crushed oreos over the top. refreeze, then cut into squares-serve on a chilled dessert plate with a fork. you can drizzle chocolate sauce on the plate and on the ice cream square, if you want to get fancy.(it was also our favorite dessert for formal dinners) i imagine we served chilled water with it, but i cannot remember.
