Michael Davis staff reporter Pi Kappa Phi took home first place as Delta Gamma concluded Anchor Splash, its annual drive to raise money for the blind and for sight conservation. Half of the money raised during Anchor Splash will be given to the Alexander Eye Clinic, which is operated by a DG alumna, and the remainder will be sent to DG's national organization. Money is raised from individual fraternities and sororities that compete in events and competitions. This year, the event was condensed from four days to three to make it easier to organize, but the change will make reaching their goal more difficult, she said. Henson said they won't know the final amount of money raised for several days because they are still waiting for family member and alumni donations.
Students vote on the most beautiful eyes of a representative from each sorority.
The aim of this competition is to gain more sorority involvement. The winner, Kappa Alpha Theta, will share half of the proceeds with DG and use the money for their own philanthropy. Fraternities also gained points by winning events. They also won the water relays Wednesday. Delta Tau Delta came in second place.
