It's also nice if you have a gift or a gift bag related to your group and/or college that you can give them as a treat. We had each member pay for a gift bag filled for their parents, who seemed to always appreciate it.

thetadancer, that is a great suggestion. i have heard of chapters that have ball caps printed with "xyz dad's day"-always a hit with the dads!

a bid day type bag with "xyz mom" would be cute.

We paired up with a fraternity for a Dads Weekend and we had a casino night for all the dads. At the end of the night, the Dads could "buy" things with the play money that they won.

For Mom's Weekend we had a brunch followed by a silent auction and then a Mary Kay makeover workshop.
