Kappa Sigma Wing-Bowl

On Tuesday November 17th, Kappa Sigma’s Xi-Rho chapter hosted their annual Wing Bowl event. The event was held at JD’s Pub and Grill in Smithville, which is approximately ten minutes away from campus. Although it was a fraternity sponsored event, it was open to everyone, whether or not they are involved in Greek life. Tickets for the Wing Bowl were sold in lower D Wing near the computer lab wing.

The night of the event was very exciting. Many people filtered through the pub enjoying wings and each other’s company. Kappa Sigma brothers were stationed throughout the cozy pub helping the night move smoothly. If students did not purchase tickets during tabling, which occurred on; Thursday, the twelfth, Monday, the sixteenth, and Tuesday, the seventeenth, they had the option to buy them at the door for the same prices, five dollars for six wings, or for ten dollars, students could participate in an exhilarating wing competition to win some cool prizes. The winner of this year’s Wing Bowl was Aaron Reader, a Kappa Sigma brother. The contest challenged anyone interested to eat ten chicken wings as fast as possible.

The money raised by the event went to Kappa Sigma’s philanthropy, the Military Heroes Campaign, and totalled $1,031. This charity works closely with organizations such as The Fisher House to help aid thousands of veterans and their families in America. I believe that this event can be considered a success. The fraternity gained positive exposure to possible rushes and towards the school and they were able to raise a decent amount of money to donate to a positive cause.
