Every year the brothers of Lambda Chi Alpha nationally participate in raising food and funds for the North American Food Drive. Here at Embry-Riddle, this national philanthropy takes the form of a Watermelon Bust. During this week-long event, the brothers of Lambda Chi Alpha hold a series of competitions that involve sorority participation and collecting donations for the national philanthropy.

The events that the sororities participated in included Watermelon Carving (won by Theta Phi Alpha), a Watermelon Eating Contest (won by Sigma Sigma Sigma), and a Watermelon Obstacle Course (won by Alpha Xi Delta). In the end, there could be only one winner and this year's winner was Alpha Xi Delta, who also won the Watermelon Bust two years ago. This win was a close one that came all the way down to the last event, where only five points separated Alpha Xi Delta from Sigma Sigma Sigma.

In the end, the brothers of Lambda Chi Alpha and the sorority sisters were able to have a little fun while getting the chance to be creative and competitive and collect food for the North American Food Drive.
