Gift guide

Founders Day & Milestone Gifts

Every fraternity and sorority celebrates its founding date. It's a natural day for a small gift that honors the organization's history, not just the colors.

Founders Day is often marked with chapter banquets, service projects and alumni gatherings. You'll find each organization's founding date in our directory.

Members also mark years of membership. Ten, twenty-five and fifty years are big ones, especially for graduate and alumni chapter members. A history book about the organization, or a framed print of its founding year, makes a meaningful gift.

Shopping tip: add the organization's name to any search (for example, "Delta Gamma tumbler") to find officially licensed products from approved sellers.

Our picks

  • Organization history book

    Many fraternities and sororities have published histories. Search with the organization's name.

  • Christmas ornament with letters

    An ornament is a yearly reminder. Add the organization's name for licensed versions.

  • Engraved crystal keepsake

    For a 25- or 50-year membership milestone.

  • Coffee mug

    Small, used every day.

  • Car decal or license plate frame

    For alumni who still rep their letters everywhere.

  • Donation in their name

    Many organizations run a foundation or a signature service program. A gift in someone's name honors what they stand for.

    Give through the organization's own foundation website.
