Alpha Kappa chapter of Alpha Gamma Rho Fraternity annually holds the AGR Water Wars philanthropy to benefit the American Diabetes Association.  The event is a water balloon dodge ball tournament in which many of the sororities and fraternities on campus can participate.  Being a part of the great city of Knoxville we try to make it better in any way that we can. Contributing to local charities is one way we can help make a difference and see how it affects people here in our own community.

      AGR Water Wars can not be accomplished without the support of generous sponsorship.  The Brothers at Alpha Gamma Rho hope that you can contribute in whatever way you can to our philanthropy event.  We hope to offer a great day of fun to the spectators and participants alike, but more importantly, we hope to be able to increase our donation to our charitable cause. We believe this can very easily be accomplished with the help from the business community here in the Knoxville area, and businesses that brothers have strong affiliations with.

 The rules of the game:

-  8 players per team

-  Each match can be up to 5 rounds of play. The team that wins 3 out of 5 rounds of play will     win the match. Each round will have a 5 minute time limit.
