PHILANTHROPY
Historically, the event has been a monumental success, consistently raising over $95,000 for these causes. Through this joint venture, we continue to demonstrate our commitment to making a meaningful impact, underscoring the power of united efforts in philanthropy.
Each year, Derby Days brings together members from both fraternities to raise significant funds for two renowned charities: the Catch-A-Dream Foundation, which grants once-in-a-lifetime hunting and fishing experiences to children with life-threatening illnesses, and the Huntsman Cancer Institute, dedicated to eradicating cancer through human-centered research.
In the spirit of brotherhood and community service, Mississippi Theta of Sigma Alpha Epsilon and Sigma Chi have joined forces to host the annual Derby Days Dance Competition. This collaborative event is not just a celebration of camaraderie and competitive spirit but also a powerful platform for philanthropy.
