How to Choose a Fraternity Flag for a Chapter House, Dorm Room, or Tailgate

Measure your space first, then choose a 2×3 ft or 3×5 ft flag that fits it. Next, check that the listing's grommets and print side suit how you will hang the flag. The two fraternity flag listings we checked on GreekLife.Store come in both sizes. They suggest 2×3 ft for dorm rooms and windows, and 3×5 ft for poles, tailgates and larger spaces.

This guide is written by GreekLife.Store, so the examples come from our own listings. It is not an independent comparison of flag sellers.

Step 1: Measure the space first

Measure before you open a product page. Write down:

• Wall or window: the width and height of the free area.
• Pole: where the flag will attach, and how much room it has to hang and move.
• Tailgate or canopy: the length of the edge or frame where the flag will hang.
• Mounting points: what you can attach the flag to (hook, nail, pole, rope, fence) and how far apart the attachment points are.
• Viewing side: whether people will see the flag from one side only, or from both sides.

Then compare your numbers with the flag sizes:

A flag fits a wall or window only if the free area is at least as large as the flag, in the direction you will hang it. Leave extra space if you do not want the flag to touch a frame, furniture or the ceiling.

Before you hang anything, check your housing or venue rules. They differ by place, and this guide does not cover them.

Step 2: Pick a size

Two fraternity flag listings we checked on November 6, 2026 offer the same two sizes and give the same use suggestions for each. On the product page, the size selector shows them as "2x3 Feet" and "3x5 Feet".

Use these as a starting point, then let your measurements decide:

• Dorm room or apartment wall: the listings point to 2×3 ft. If your free wall area is at least 60 in (152 cm) wide and 36 in (91 cm) high, a 3×5 ft flag also fits.
• Chapter house wall or porch: measure the wall or porch section you plan to use. 3×5 ft is the larger size on these listings.
• Tailgate: the listings suggest 3×5 ft for poles and tailgates. Measure the pole or canopy edge before you order.

We checked only these two listings, so confirm the sizes on the listing for your fraternity.

Step 3: Match the mounting method to the listing

Both listings state that the flag has two brass grommets sewn into the left side. They say it can be mounted on a pole, wall, fence, ceiling or display area.

The listings do not mention a pole, rope, hooks or other hardware, so plan to supply your own. Check that your mount works with two grommets on one edge of the flag. If you are unsure what you need, email info@greeklife.store before you order.

Step 4: Check which side people will see

Both listings describe a single-sided print with a mirrored reverse image visible from the back. A mirror image means any lettering reads backwards from the back.

If people will see only the front, such as on a wall, this does not matter. If people will see both sides, such as on a pole or in a window seen from inside and outside, decide whether a mirrored back is acceptable.

This applies to the two listings above. Other products, including garden flags, can be built differently, so read the listing for each product.

Step 5: Check the material

Both listings state the flags are made from 150-denier polyester and describe them as suitable for indoor display and regular outdoor use. They do not give washing or storage instructions.

Step 6: Confirm design, dispatch and destination

Before you check out, confirm:

1. Organization: the right fraternity. Some organization names are similar.
2. Design number: each design has its own number, such as Pi Kappa Phi #4.
3. Size: 2×3 ft or 3×5 ft.
4. Price and availability: shown on the listing for your exact design and size.
5. Delivery address: where the flag should go.

Flags ship within 2–3 business days. They ship from US stock or directly from the factory, and delivery timing varies by shipment origin. Dispatch time is not an arrival date. If you need a flag by a fixed date, email info@greeklife.store before you order.
