How much outdoor space do you have? How many dads will be attending?
Since the event coincides with the university's Family Day, you'll want to make sure you include activities for the moms, too.
Does your chapter have any cornhole sets? If so, set those out for people to play. If not, maybe you could get the materials now, and prepare everything so that on Family Day, the families/brothers could assemble/paint them. (Provide old shirts to protect from paint mishaps.)
Can you incorporate your philanthropy at all? Maybe have a mini food drive where the families bring something to donate. Or have a food drive prior to Family Day and have the dads help box it up or something?
Maybe a 5k run/walk for those active parents. Some kind of physical activity would probably be welcomed considering they'll be spending a few hours eating/tailgating followed by a few hours of sitting/standing at the game.
Have someone taking pictures of the families there, and after the weekend, send out a note thanking them for attending. Include the pics in the email (or set up an online photo album if that's easier).
