Popcorn is good because it is a break from the super-sweet snacks... frozen "virgin" drinks are always a hit... cookies in the shapes of your symbols... anything with a cute gimmick to match your theme (root beer floats for a 50s round, fruit salad or something tropical for a hawaiian round).
Well, Delta Gamma one year did a whole Holiday themed Rush, each night was a different Holiday. Preference was New Year's Eve. When they did "Halloween" they gave out traditional halloween candy, but for Mardi Gras night they had candy necklaces as "beads". Very cute.
Shirley Temples were a big hit for the school I advised, in terms of drinks. Exotic fruit also got the thumbs up during our Jungle theme....passion fruit, kiwi, and plain old grapes worked really well.
During one of our informal rushes, we had a mocktail party - it was a big hit.
We made sushi for pref one year... we were all so stressed, and making sushi is oddly relaxing. It was all vegetarian so that we didn't risk problems with fish going bad, and we had a lot left over to munch on after pref
