University of Florida Sigma Chi Derby Days

We are very excited to announce that thanks to all of the amazing support from our families, friends, alumni and fellow members of the Greek Community that we were able to raise over $31,000 for the Children's Miracle Network at Shands. This weekend we had the hat hunt on Friday afternoon and our Family Dinner at the Paramount Plaza Friday Evening. Saturday was our annual Derby Days line dance competition. We announced the winner- Kappa Delta at midnight at the Swamp Restaurant. Zeta Tau Alpha came in second place overall and Delta Delta Delta placed third. We were really blown away by all of the support we had and we look forward to Derby Days next year! Also check out the Independent Florida Alligators coverage of the event here.

Gamma Theta Chapter of Sigma Chi Chapter update

Alumni,

We recently got the house repainted with the contributions from Alumni Weekend. Again we thank everyone who came and we look forward to doing it again next fall. A large group of us made it to the Sugar Bowl to watch Tebow's final game. It was a great semester for our chapter; we initiated 27 brothers this past fall. Also our brothers continued to be active on campus with Brother Benjamin Helsby becoming the Interfraternity Council's Treasurer and our fall 2009 pledge class becoming involved in Gator Growl and the Young Leaders Conference.

This spring we will be putting on our annual philanthropy Derby Days on February 19th-20th. Our goal is to raise $35,000, which would be the highest grossing fraternity philanthropy ever at the University of Florida. All proceeds benefit the Children's Miracle Network. In doing so we need your help! To donate please visit the following site.

In hoc signo vinces,

Brett Owens

Gamma Theta Chapter of Sigma Chi Alumni Chairman
