2. What is Derby Days? If you ever wondered why sororities/fraternities hold week long events in order to raise money for their philanthropies, you’ll be surprised to found out that Derby Days was the ORIGINAL philanthropic event/competition to ever take place. Derby Days is Sigma Chi’s fundraising event whose chapters across the nation hold in order to raise money for their national philanthropy, The Children’s Miracle Network.
3. Who cares about Derby Days? Not only is Derby Days important to Sigma Chi, but to PI BETA PHI CALIFORNIA EPSILON!!!! Although I have never competed in Derby Days, I feel the spirit of competition and its importance to our chapter. Derby Days is a very unique and special time for our chapter to bond, release our inner badass, and support a great cause. With this, we need all the support and participation necessary for our chapter to continue the tradition of holding the title of THE TRUE CHAMPIONS OF SIGMA CHI DERBY DAYS.
4. YOUR CHAPTER NEEDS YOU!!!!!! This week requires more time, effort, and energy than you can imagine. It is HIGHLY recommended that everyone gets ahead of their studies NOW so you don’t stress about school the week of and after Derby Days.
5. T-SHIRT ORDERS Monday October 10 At chapter meeting, I will be passing out t-shirt order forms. EVERYONE IS REQUIRED TO PURCHASE A T-SHIRT. It will cost $15 and HEY, THEY’RE KINDA CUTE!!!!!!! (Fall 11, I recommend buying more than 1… so next year you can give it to your little(s)!!! :D )

7. Poster Contest Sunday October 16 By midnight on Sunday, our poster needs to be hung up on Sigma Chi’s house. Our poster will most likely be completed the night of the sleepover, so there’s not too much to do, but be at the house that night so we can hang it up with our coaches. I will give more info on specific times the night of the sleepover.
8. “Mark your territory” Monday October 17 Girls… THIS NIGHT IS HUGE!!!!!! We are assigned a specific spot in the house to literally mark our territory.
