Kappa Alpha Theta held its annual “Theta Dodgeball” tournament Sunday. The event, which sponsored Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA), raised approximately $3,600.

CASA helps support volunteers who represent the best interests of children who have been abused or neglected in their home life. CASA advocates the protection of these children in the courtroom.

“It is great that we are able to be apart of helping these kids when they need someone most,” sophomore Theta Nikki Juraszek said.

This year, there was a total of 18 teams, which consist of both Greek and non-Greek members of the student body.

The bleachers of the Dedman basketball courts were filled with cheering onlookers as teams such as the girl’s soccer team, Kappa Alpha Order and Pi Beta Phi competed against each other. FIJI sophomores won this year’s men’s bracket and the soccer girl’s team won the female champions.

Once awarded overall male and female winners, FIJI and the girl’s soccer team had to compete against each other. Although the girls soccer team gave its all, the FIJI sophomores came out as the winners.

“This is a fun way to come together on campus for a good cause. I am so proud of my sisters for working so hard on this,” sophomore Theta Caroline Wright said. “It was a great end to the weekend full of philanthropy.”
