Members of the nine sororities competing to crown the next Rose Queen of Pi Kappa Phi competed in a series of games during the third event of the 2026 War of the Roses event on Thursday night.
Zeta Tau Alpha won the Jenga competition among queen candidates. Kappa Kappa Gamma was the runners-up.
Individual candidate fund-raising, t-shirt sales, ticket sales and performance at the 6 p.m., Monday, April 6 talent show are all that remain in this year’s competition. The big winner from the philanthropic effort is The Ability Experience, Pi Kappa Phi’s national outreach program assisting people with disabilities.
Monday’s talent show – the grand finale of the 10-day War of the Roses – will be held at Purdue’s Fowler Hall located in Stewart Center. Tickets are available at the door.
Thus far the event has raised more than $10,000. You can support the efforts at:
