MONTEVLLO, Ala. — The Gamma Delta chapter of Alpha Kappa Lambda is hosting their spring philanthropy event, “Alpha Kappa Sand-a,” today, March 18.

The beach volleyball tournament will feature competitions between Greek life organizations, and the winning team will receive a trophy.

The event will take place at 5 p.m. at UM’s sand volleyball courts. Admission is free, and concessions like ice cream, soda and bottled water will be sold.

Funds raised will be donated to Safe House of Shelby County, a non-profit organization that empowers and supports survivors of domestic and sexual violence, providing counseling, case management, legal services and community education.

Each team will have a theme, and points will be awarded for creativity, spirit and originality. Both a team and individual spirit winner will be chosen to receive a painted canvas.
