On October 21st, University of the Pacific will feel the heat. The general consensus is that it’s October and the heat wave has already passed, but this Saturday the ladies of Kappa Alpha Theta are hosting “Theta Inferno.”
Known for their challenging and fun basketball tournament “Midnight Mania,” the Theta’s changed their event this year to “Theta Inferno.” “Theta Inferno” is a combination of a dodge ball tournament and Mr. CASAnova pageant.
The ladies hold their philanthropy event each year to raise money for C.A.S.A, or Court Appointed Special Advocates. Court Appointed Special Advocates is an international program in which volunteers mentor and represent children within the court systems. The last couple of years the Phi chapter here at University of the Pacific has raised more than $2,500 each year to donate to the program.
“Theta Inferno” is being held on the WPC lawn beginning at 11 am. The dodge ball tournament kicks off the event, while the anticipated pageant won’t happen until around 3pm, after the final championship dodge ball game has been played.
The Mr. CASAnova pageant will have seven contestants this year. These contestants are Drew Throne, Hayurki, Josh Foster, Mark Phillipe, Michael Boucher, Scott Ruygruk, and Eric Rowland. Each will have to go through three rounds to prove to the crowd that he should be Mr. CASAnova. The three rounds include a beachwear competition, talent section, and the final question round.
Throughout the week, the lovely ladies of Kappa Alpha Theta were found promoting their event in the Dining Hall and in the McCaffrey Center. They were collecting money as votes towards Pacific’s favorite contestants, and had dodge ball team sign-up forms.
Contestants, teams, and the audience will be able to vote for their favorite contestant, enjoy a concession stand, and win a raffle with prizes. All of the money and donations raised for the event go straight to C.A.S.A.
