While Thetafest is one of the best parts of being in Theta, this event means more to all of us than just the fajitas and friends. With the money we raise, we have the ability to make an incredible impact on our local philanthropy Scotty’s House and the lives of individuals in the Bryan and College Station areas.

 

Scotty’s House is the Child Advocacy Center of the Brazos Valley. Their mission is to provide safety, healing, and justice for children victimized by abuse or neglect through professional assessment, counseling, and education in a compassionate and collaborative approach.

 

Scotty's House children are referred to the program by law enforcement officials and Child Protective Services investigators. Once they are there, the non-profit provides a supportive and nurturing environment in which a child victim can interact with the necessary agencies. This non-profit provides not only forensic services, but also advocacy, counseling, and education services to further prevent child abuse. Scotty’s House puts an incredible focus on the children, making everything from the forensic interview to counseling services child-friendly.

 

Kappa Alpha Theta is dedicated to our philanthropy because we know that we have the ability to help work towards the mission of Scotty’s House. Our event has its ability to create memorable experiences out of our chapter’s love and devotion to our philanthropy and our community.
