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.

I sold a hazing paddle that had metal trucks and hand painted dedication from the pledge to his big frat brother. It was mint when I found it at the dump, and I rode it out in the parking lot. Weird to think that frat boys used to skate something besides dopey longboards.
come on man “apparently”? The Hilton brothers/Hobie team…
