We had it every year during football season... Dads came in on Friday evening or Saturday morning. They slept in our rooms in the chapter house, and we all slept on the floors in the living room and family room. Had a big breakfast game day, went to the game in the afternoon, then gathered at the house to grill steaks in the evening. We moved all our cars out of our parking lot behind the house, put some bales of hay around for sitting, and had a professional square dance caller teach everyone how to square dance. It was a blast, and the dads looked forward to it every year. We always had either a Dad's day hat or T-shirt as a party favor for them and hired the party pic guy to take photos.
Mom's weekend was during the Spring Sing competition in the spring, and we had brunch, went to the competition to cheer on our entry, went to church on sunday, etc. They loved it, and it was a great way for the parents who weren't greek in college to get acquainted with the system and become fans of greek life.
