Derby Days

The mission of Derby Days is easily stated: to serve the community. Since the birth of our Fraternity, Sigma Chi has endeavored to give back to the community. Because Derby Days affords each chapter the unique opportunity to positively impact the community, it has been the most publicized and visible way for our chapter to serve others.
