Theta Xi and Kappa Kappa Gamma

Dodgeball Tournament

Every fall, Theta Xi teams up with its neighbor sorority, Kappa Kappa Gamma, to host the annual Theta Xi and Kappa Kappa Gamma Dodgeball Tournament. This philanthropy was created to replace Theta Xi’s previous philanthropy, Earthball.

            The dodgeball tournament is held each year to benefit the National Multiple Sclorosis Society. Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is an inflamatory autoimmune disease that affects the brain and spinal cord. It interrupts the body’s communication between nerve cells in the brain and the spinal cord. While there is no known cure to MS yet, donations to the National Society contribute to research of a cure and ways to better treat those with the disease in order to slow down its destructive effects on the body.

Theta Xi has been holding the dodgeball tournament for two years now, and has already raised over $1100, as well as providing a fun activity for students to participate in on the weekend. The tournament has proven to be an excellent way to have fun and give back to the community at the same time. And after all, who doesn’t love a good game of dodgeball?

            They say there are five D’s in dodgeball: Dodge, Duck, Dip, Dive and, Dodge. Theta Xi adds a sixth D every year: DONATE!
