Cooler painting (as in "the painting of coolers")

[UofISigKap]

I know some sisters from Virginia Tech who own decorated coolers, and it was the first I had heard of it.

Pledge moms (similar to the old-school Little Sisters) give painted coolers to the new fraternity initiates at my son's school. My friend said the Big Sister Thetas at UGa gave them to their Littles when they initiated as well.

Um NO. Unless they are all attached to one fraternity and have a pledging program, they ARE NOT.

This whole cooler painting thing is stupid. If we would have given guys those, they would have said "Why the @#$% did you waste money on this crap when you could have spent it on alcohol?"

According to my nephew, the coolers come filled with beer - allegedly.

Now when I was an undergrad, the coolers I saw (and used) were white styrofoam coolers. And the “really cool" ones might have a decal (school logo and/or GLO letters) slapped on it.

Ha, that's true...I wonder if men think they are cool, or just pretend to because the women put so much time into them.
