Derby of the Decades

The Sigma Chi Fraternity at Alma College would like to invite you to participate in our Sigma Chi Fraternity Derby Days, a philanthropic event sponsored October 23rd through October 27th to raise money for Community Café and the Children’s Miracle Network. Derby Days, founded in 1934 at the University of California-Berkeley, offers an excellent opportunity for public relations while making a contribution to a deserving cause as well as promoting Greek Life as a whole. Since its inception, Derby Days has raised over $2 million nationwide for numerous philanthropies. In fact, such a program is a pioneer among men’s fraternities.

Derby Days, the largest Greek fundraiser on Alma College's campus, pits the College's sororities against each other in an arena of friendly competition in order to raise money for charities.

Sororities earn points for both participation and generosity. The revenues are split evenly between Sigma Chi's philanthropies of choice--locally the Community Cafe and internationally the Children's Miracle Network--and the philanthropies of each sorority. The percent of points you have to the total points is proportional to the amount your philanthropy receives.
