Food/Drink that reminds you of your Fraternity/Sorority?

[naraht]

What food or drink reminds you personally of your Fraternity or Sorority?

This could be anything from the main dish at the theme party your fraternity threw every year to a drink that the only person who you've ever met who drank it was a sorority sister or anything else...

Wine and cheese.

We had a wine and cheese mixer with a local sorority my Freshman year, so I always associate wine and cheese with that disaster, I mean mixer.

This is an interesting thread to start, though!

ETA: Also, mostaccoli. Every. Single. Event.

Parent dinner? Let's make mostaccoli.
Mixer? Mostaccoli?
Retreat? Definitely mostaccoli!
Event after retreat? Leftover mostaccoli!!!

I can't look at falafel without thinking about the house cook we had when I was a junior. He was "earthy", and if you remember the Scooby Doo cartoons, he looked exactly like Shaggy. Let's just say that his idea of good food vs. what our housemother thought was good food were not the same and he did not work for us very long.

Frosted animal crackers. We served them at rush because they are pink and white.

Anthill Pie-crushed Oreo crust with Peppermint ice cream and Oreo crumbs on top. We served it at prefs.(all 4 years I was in college) and had it occasionally as dessert on Thursday nights-guest night. I make it every Christmas season.

It was one of our chapter's favorite desserts...and mine! Our house Mom always made sure it was on the menu at least twice a month! Another chapter favorite were the rice krispy treats. Our cooks made them two ways: plain and peanut butter with melted chocolate chips on the top. We had them every Friday night at walk through dinner. And my all time favorite lunches grilled cheese and tomato soup, we had it once a week.

We had this too only we called it grasshopper pie. I was never partial to it, but we served it at our pref parties and it was special to most of my sisters. I believe the Pi Phis on my campus had it as well...

I don't associate a specific food to Alpha Gam but at Convention, all the meals have a red food item, yellow food item and green food item.

Yea, it can get imaginative, lol.

Remember the strawberry soup at the Centennial convention? Most foods are either red, buff or green, if you think about it. It would be much worse for some other GLOs, like Tri Sigmas or Alpha Xi Deltas if they only ate food that fit their sorority colors at their Conventions!

I preffed at Alpha Gamma Delta and they served strawberries, cheesecake and green grapes. Observant suck-up as I am, I made note of it to my hostess. She was most pleased.

Now, as for my stroll down memory lane, a lot of them have been mentioned here, but...

Clearly Canadian - because the year I rushed, that's what our house served at the ice water round, and they got dinged for it. Hahaha!

Cokes in the little glass bottles, which were a staple of the second round parties not only at our house...

Froot Loops. Because I ate them every day for breakfast...

Gumby's Pizza, with Pokey Stix. Garbage pizza, but I loved it.

Cheese straws, which along with petit fours (decorated with icing violets) and strawberries were our pref party refreshment.

Oh I remember that Strawberry Soup. I wasn't a fan.

My chapter events always included SEVEN LAYER DIP. The Sarahs always seemed to make enough Seven Layer Dip to feed the Duggars 3 times. It's because of this that I haven't eaten Seven Layer Dip in YEARS!

[ellebud]

Eggs and onions...Yep...one of my sisters made them one Sunday for brunch. OMG, nirvana........

[WCsweet<3]

Spaghetti. We had a pasta feed for half our philanthropy and ate a form of pasta almost every Monday before chapter.

Friday Fish Fry. Every Friday. My job was to come home from Happy Hour half-buzzed and make the tartar sauce for our cook, Anna. I had to mix mayo from an industrial-sized plastic jar with pickle relish. I don't remember how this became my regular job, but she counted on me every Friday, so I was always careful not to drink too much before I went back to the house. She was a nice lady.

Glass bottled Coca Cola. We've served them during formal recruitment for at least the past two years. The party theme is "Always Classic. Always AOII."
