When Kappa Delta member Lindsey Arnold died in 2004, the sorority learned the importance of brain cancer awareness. With the Twistin' the Night Away Twister tournament, that is exactly what Kappa Delta hopes to do.
Becca Grober, public relations chairwoman for Kappa Delta, said she never knew Arnold, but the event is still personal to her and her sorority.
She said Arnold's family could not afford the medical bills when she was going through treatment, so the sorority started the event to assist the family. The sorority continued the event in her memory and to benefit the American Brain Tumor Association.
Teams of four will compete on a Twister mat about double the size of a normal mat, Grober said. After the teams compete, organizers will eliminate one horizontal row and one vertical row until a team wins. The final round will pit team against team for the best Twister moves.
Grober said last year the event doubled in size from the previous year, and the sorority hopes that happens again.
"I think [the event] is different because it is so personal, it carries on a tradition and not every organization can have an event so personal to organization," she said.
Awards will be given for the best pajama-themed consume, highest organization attendance, overall individual and overall team. The event will be held at 7:30 p.m. in Irving Gym and it is $1 to watch the tournament.
