gifts for frats

Hi guys! Serenades for social events are coming up, and we usually give the frats gifts like movies, food, etc. Any ideas on what frat boys would want? They can not involve drugs, alcohol, tobacco, or be sexually suggestive. Let me know what you guys think would be cool things to get.

Generally anything with my letters (or both group's letters) on it is great. Some people that go all out get all artsy-crafty and paint ordinary things with their letters and use those as gifts. Most guys though are happy to get anything.

usually the girls give us beer, or food. but since you can't give beer, then food or anything you have made is cool. i love to get random baskets from girls. my twin has decorated some cool stuff for me and brought it into meeting.
ps- guys appreciate "homemade" stuff too.

Okay, keep the ideas coming! Also, is there anything specific to your frat that would be cool to receive? For example, Delta Zeta got turtles from another house. Does anyone have a mascot or something special to them? Let me know, no matter what frat you are in, because we have almost all of you on my campus.

Thumbs down

DeltaBetaBaby, if you will excuse me, We do not like to be called Frats. We are Fraternitys!

Sorry but just wanted to let you know!

Is it an all incopassing thing with all Fraternitys involved or just one? If just one, you can then personalize the item!

I agree with KTsnake, anything with letters on it are cool. The SAE mascot is the LION so you could buy SAEs lion stuff. Food/candy is a hot item around OU. Girls at OU typically paint a pail with theirs and our letters on them and then fill the pail with candy. That is the typical thing to do at OU.

Yeah, yeah, fraternities.

Anyway, we usually do the candy and crates and stuff, but I am looking for something a little more impressive, and I have the budget to do it for a few fraternities that we really like. I was thinking about getting them dart boards or something, but I don't know what boys want.

Oh, and if you are from my school, please don't steal my ideas.

I couldn't have said it any better than Tom Earp! It does look however that his comment rolled off her back like water off of a duck.

The word Frat is negative and is similar to fingernails on a chalk board.

FYI

No, the point is well-taken. I should know better.

I don't mind the word frat if used in a nice way...
But whatever.

Theta Chi=Snakes, or maybe you could get away with bulls, ox, or minatour stuff if the chapter in question uses that.

Delta Beta Baby,

The Dart Board is a great idea! I can't think of any fraternity that wouldn't appreciate one of those

delta upsilon = ducks.

i (and a lot of other brothers i know) have more stuffed animal ducks and rubber duckies in my/our possession than anybody i know, so maybe something else involving ducks would be nice?
