contents Let $p$ be an odd prime. We show that for sufficiently large $n$, every $2$-block of $\mathfrak{S}_n$ and $\mathfrak{A}_n$ contains an ordinary irreducible character of degree divisible by $p$. For almost all $2$-blocks of $\mathfrak{A}_n$, we classify whether it contains a rational valued ordinary irreducible character of degree divisible by $p$.

Let $p$ be an odd prime. We show that for sufficiently large $n$, every $2$-block of $\mathfrak{S}_n$ and $\mathfrak{A}_n$ contains an ordinary irreducible character of degree divisible by $p$. For almost all $2$-blocks of $\mathfrak{A}_n$, we classify whether it contains a rational valued ordinary irreducible character of degree divisible by $p$.
