Basketball convention isn't an ordinary convention. Hosted in Louisville, Kentucky, Basketball is held to honor Drew Corson, who passed away while playing basketball at the Maccabiah games. To keep Corson's legacy and passion alive, KIO comes together to play in a basketball tourament and spend time with one another.
Basketball 2019 RECAP!
Basketball 2019 made KIO history, literally. Every year, AZAs play basketball while BBGs engage in fun sisterhood activities. In past years, we've had a painting class, yoga class, and a barre class. This year however, BBGs wanted to mix it up and take their shot out on the court. Both AZAs and BBGs had brackets where they got to play each team in order to make it to the final game on Sunday. For AZAs, the two teams that made it to the finals were Drew Corson AZA (Louisville) and Indy AZA (Indianapolis). For BBGs, the two teams that made it to the finals were Jay Levine BBG (Louisville) and B'yachad SG BBG (Indianapolis). All 4 teams played hard to win, but our winners of the tournament were Drew Corson AZA and Jay Levine BBG! Congrats to these chapters and all of the other chapters for giving it their all!
Saturday night, KIO brought back a beau/sweetheart dance and everyone had such a fun night. It was a homecoming style theme, so people dressed a little nicer for this dance than they have in the past, but that didn't stop them from having fun out on the dance floor.
For BBGs, this convention proved that they can do anything AZAs could do and still have just as much fun! We also want to give a big thank you to Louisville for being great hosts for the weekend!!
