Taking part in the fundraiser Shamrock'N'Bowl, one participant said she'd never had so much fun at a college event.
Melissa Curtis, of Fort Wayne, said she came with a group of friends who traveled from many different parts of Indiana to make it to the fundraiser.
"The camaraderie was the best part of the whole tournament," she said. "It's good kids bowling for a good cause. It's like a big happy extended family."
Kappa Delta hosted its 20th annual Shamrock'N'Bowl at Munsee Bowl on Saturday to raise money for Prevent Child Abuse Amerca and local charity Very Special Arts of Indiana.
The alleys were filled with students, parents, friends and the greek community. Shamrock'N'Bowl is part of the national Kappa Delta Shamrock Project.
Last year, the event raised more than $7,000 to support the fight against child abuse in addition to the $7.1 million Kappa Delta has donated since the sorority's founding in 1897.
Kim Fox, Shamrock'N'Bowl chairwoman, said the event exceeded her expectations this year.
"We had all lanes filled early today, with a waiting list for seven more teams wanting to play," she said.
Bowlers were able to play three games with friends in teams of five. Participants were also entered into drawings for highest team score, lowest team score and highest and lowest male and female score. The biggest prize, however, was raffled off to freshman Brittany Slingsby — a cash prize of $700.
Jesse Witt, vice president of Sigma Chi fraternity, said even though his team wasn't made up of the best bowlers, he enjoyed hanging out with friends while supporting the greek community.
