In 1989 Kappa Alpha Theta designated Court Appointed Special Advocates as it's official philanthropy.  CASA recruits volunteers to speak for the best interests of abused and neglected children in the courtroom.  These volunteers must go through an intensive training program and then provide valuable insights about the individual child which aid the judge in making final decisions.  Over the years, Thetas from around the country have helped to donate over $796,000 to the National CASA Association.

How does Theta get involved with CASA?

      Thetas from college chapters around the country help support CASA by raising money for CASA programs, providing office support, making care packages and toys for CASA children, and sponsoring philanthropy events for CASA children.  Beta Phi is proud to sponsor our annual Theta Bowl -  a bowling tournament in which teams comprised of other Greek organizations spend a day full of competitive bowling, pizza, and fun, while supporting CASA! 

Theta Bowl 2004

      The Beta Phi Chapter of Kappa Alpha Theta held Theta Bowl 2004 on April 25 at Northland Bowling. Through it, we raised over a thousand dollars to benefit CASA!  Over 20 organizations on campus participated in our philanthropy, and a great time was had by all. We feel CASA to be a truly phenomenal organization and we all hope to have Theta Bowl be even bigger in the coming years!
