    What To Send In A College Care Package

    If you're like most college moms, you're thinking the house is just a little too still now that your son has gone back to school. Sure, you dreamed about the time you'd have a little peace and quiet and not have to deal with piles of laundry, but now that you have the house all to yourself, you're not so sure that's what you wanted. If you're looking for a way to connect to your son who's away at college, sending a college care package can be just the right way to show that you care and miss him.

    What is a college care package?

    65mycp14.jpg buy-now

    A college care package is a box of treats and surprises mixed with necessary items he may be needing. Now that school's been in session for a couple of weeks, he's no doubt realized that there are things he needs and didn't bring. Plus, we all know that college students are perpetually short of funds. A college care package addresses all of those needs while giving the college man in your life an uplifting surprise. Everyone likes to get college care packages.

    If you're building your own college care package, be sure to include food. Even though the fraternity provides meals, you can never have enough late night snacks; be sure to include enough for him to share with his roommates and housemates. Clothing is another nice addition to your care package. Greek life means a lot of activities, games and functions. You want your guy to look his best. Finally, don't forget to include something from home to remind him of his family. You don't want to embarrass him, but his favorite cookies, a piece of artwork from his little brother or sister, or a memento from his high school days are sure to bring a smile to his face.

    College Graduation Gift Ideas for a Fraternity Member

    College graduation will soon be upon us. Didn't it seem like yesterday that you were packing them in the car and driving them away to school for their freshman semester? Now your son (or grandson or nephew) is a man and soon to be launched into the world. What can you possibly give him to mark such a momentous occasion?

    College graduation gift ideas

    Finding the right graduation gift for the fraternity man in your life can be a little tricky. You don't want anything too trendy, yet you want him to appreciate and use the gift. Ideal graduation gifts are those that the recipients are still using years later. Fraternity gift ideas are virtually always a hit. After all, a fraternity affiliation is a lifetime commitment. It doesn't end when your son leaves college. Fraternity letter items allow him to subtly announce his209199.jpg fraternity without being obnoxious about it. Below are a few gift ideas that promote your sons fraternity in a subtle manner:

    • Fraternity apparelRecent graduates always need clothes. Their college jeans and t-shirts just aren't appropriate for even the most casual office. Get him outfitted properly with a button-down white shirt (or two) with his fraternity letters unobtrusively stitched above the pocket. Other good apparel choices include a silk tie with the fraternity stitched into the stripes, a polo shirt for casual days or a stylish soft shell jacket that works for the office or after-work.
    • Greek stole: A memorable way to help your graduate represent his fraternity is to get him a Greek stole for graduation. A Greek stole helps celebrate the hard work that has gone in to this special moment. Embroider the Greek stole in the fraternity member’s colors and letters and add a touch of class to make both his fraternity and his graduation the centerpiece of attraction.
    • Office gear: If your new graduate is headed for an office, he needs the proper tools. Consider an engraved logo pen or a new wallet or even a coffee mug marked with his fraternity to take to work with him
    • Sports Gear: Sports items are also gifts that are appreciated year after year. A set of fraternity golf balls is an affordable gift that any golfer will be able to use. Or, buy him a lightweight jacket or polo shirt to wear on the course.
    • Greek Paraphernalia: Most new graduates are starting out in a first apartment. No more housemother cooking for them or sending their laundry home to mom. You can help your recent graduate set up housekeeping with a set glasses or even a blanket.

    Campus Classics has been selling quality fraternity apparel and other Greek gift ideas for more than 25 years. We offer fully-licensed products, so you don't have to worry about the quality of the artwork or that your son's organization might be getting cheated in some way.

    What To Get A Student Struggling With Finals

    Do you remember finals from when you were in school? Some things never change. Students vow to stay ahead of the work, not to end up cramming all night before final exams, but something always comes up. It might be a party, a girl or a warm spring day. It's not difficult to get distracted from studying. Greek life offers even more time challenges, with spring formals and community activities.

    Care Packages for Students

    If your son is less prepared for his final exams than he'd like to be and is facing a few nights of studying into the wee hours of the morning, you can show you care and lessen his discomfort with the perfect gift. Just a few ideas include:

      • Fraternity clothing. Who wants to be doing laundry when you should be studying? Help your student get comfortable with Greek apparel like a new letter sweatshirt or sweat pants. A couple of new t-shirts will also see him through finals without having to worry about having clean clothes to wear. For those students who find even getting dressed too much effort while studying, consider a new Greek letter robe to replace that thread-bare one you bought him when he was a freshman.
      • Hats. Sometimes after a long night of studying, sleeping in an extra 20-30 minutes is crucial. To get this extra time to sleep college students may have to rely on deoderant and skip the shower until exams are over for the day. All fraternity guys need a go-to hat to cover up the bed head. Our selection of Greek Letter hats is sure to include something he will wear often.
      • Burlwood Accessory Box. It is every college kids' nightmear forgetting to take his Student ID and pencil to every exam. This engraved accessory box is the perfect, unique box to keep on a dresser or desk to store these kinds of items. Before every test he will be sure to remember all the necessities are in this box.

    We also offer a Finals Care Package that includes a fraternity letter t-shirt, and a selection of easy-to-prepare snacks to keep his energy level up. We’ve also a FREE deck of fraternity playing cards (because you have to take a break once in a while) and a 5 Hour Energy. The Finals Care Package saves your having to run around collecting the items, while still showing you care.

    Campus Classics offers a variety of Greek apparel and gift items for all occasions. Our company has been in business for 25 years, so you know you can trust us to get your package there intact, in time for finals. We offer products for more than 57 of the Nation's top Fraternities and Sororities, and all of our artwork is fully licensed.
