Philanthropy
CASA, Court Appointed Special Advocates, is Theta's National Philanthropy. This special program
aids in the removal of abandoned, abused, or neglected children from the frightening world of court systems and foster care. A CASA volunteer, called an advocate, is literally the child's voice in the court since they represent them to the judge as well as the entire system. CASA's main goal is to get these needy children in stable, safe homes, and out of a system that doesn't always have their best interests in mind. Theta collegiate and alumnae chapters across the nation donate millions of dollars to this organization.
The Fraternity's philanthropic arm, the Kappa Alpha Theta Foundation, supports the Fraternity's educational programs as well as CASA. The Foundation awards more than $200,000 each year in graduate and undergraduate scholarships for Theta members.
Alongside various work with CASA, Theta’s at Tulane regularly perform community service projects. Monthly projects have included throwing a party for sick children at The Children’s Hospital, participating in Beautify Broadway, No/AIDS Walk, sending care packages to our troops, and many other worthwhile endeavors.
