The classic back and forth fight of a Tug-of-War can be symbolic of a lot of things. The constant back and forth struggle with balancing school and friends, the internal fight to decide whether or not to get that third coffee before it's even noon. But nothing really beats rolling up your sleeves, putting on your cleats, and taking Tug-of-War for what it really is: Some fun, some friends, and some money raised for some awesome causes.

On Thursday, Sept. 24, the brothers of Tau Kappa Epsilon, Zeta Mu teamed up with the lovely sisters of Alpha Xi Delta, Iota Xi for their annual Tug-of-War. Blessed with a gorgeous day, 13 teams consisting of five members hit the quad for an all out battle to determine who would be crowned the winner.

The teams ranged from other Greek organizations, to sports teams, insight groups and old roommates. It was awesome to see so many come out to have some fun, relieve some stress, and raise some money for philanthropy!

At the end of the day, TKE and AXiD had managed to raise over $300 for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital and Autism Speaks. Thank you to everyone who came out to support the causes, and congratulations to Alpha Chi Rho for taking home the win! Check out our wrap video for this years event!
