College

Apparently frat boys have a long history with skateboarding. This Delta Tau Delta skateboard allegedly came from a pledge dance in 1965. The board style and condition of the skateboard would seem to support that. I have to say, it’s a pretty cool party favor, much better than some stupid paddle. This board was spotted at a Goodwill online auction, and eventually sold for $102.

– Thanks to Guy Housewright for the tip.

Also, I can’t resist this opportunity to (re)post two fraternity related songs by legendary skate rockers, the Big Boys.

  2. come on man “apparently”? The Hilton brothers/Hobie team…
