“We are going to go out there, do just like we did the last time and get them out of here,” Brian Jenkins said as another round commenced.

Senior biology major, Jenkins and his team competed at the dodgeball tournament organized by the Kappa Kappa chapter of Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Inc. along with the Beta Theta chapter of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc. last week.

The event was hosted as part of the two organizations’ joint “Blue and White Week.”

According to Destiny Carson, marketing junior, the two chapters decided to combine their organizations for one week to “show their bond to the campus.”

“We wanted a fun event that would bring in a big group of people. We had a lot of ideas at first and we all agreed on the dodgeball tournament,” said Carson, member of the Beta Theta chapter of Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc.

Not only did the event bring together different Greek organizations, it also showed unity amongst the National Pan-Hellenic Council (NPHC) as a whole, according to communications senior Jimmon Felton.

Teams paid an entry fee of $25 to participate in the tournament. Half of the proceeds went to “March of Dimes,” which is both  organizations’ philanthropy.

“March of Dimes” is a national organization that provides care for both mothers and babies from various backgrounds. It also advocates for healthcare policies and funds research for maternal health issues.

“We thought since both of the organizations are familiar with them ‘March of Dimes’, they would be the one we would donate to for the week,” said Dominique Penton, member of Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity Inc.

Although five teams’ registered for the event, only two showed up to the  tournament, and an on-site team was created to help even out the numbers.

The evening ended with the Eta Pi chapter of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity Inc. winning  first place along with a cash prize of $75.
