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.

85th Anniversary Celebration

Brothers, I hope all of the alumni had as much fun as the active chapter did this past Weekend. I can honestly say that it was great planning the event and meeting all of you. We are planning on doing an alumni weekend every fall and look forward to all of you coming back again. We have some left over money from registrations and will be using that to re-paint parts of the house that really need it. I will be posting pictures of what we fix up soon. Thanks again to everyone who came, we enjoyed learning more about our chapter and sharing common experiences. A number of you wanted to help out Jeff Danzy who worked so hard for our house for over 43 years if you would like to help him out please contact our House Dad Dennis Hamm at 352-316-2111. I know some of you said you would like to help out with certain things at the house like the carpet, if so please email me at sigmachigator@gmail.com. We look forward to furthering our alumni relations. Go Gators!

UF Gamma Theta Sigma Chi

This summer several brothers will be on campus at the University of Florida taking leadership roles ranging from Gator Growl to Traffic Court. Many of the graduating seniors are attending graduate school at UF. David Myers (Fall 2007 Magister) of Tampa, FL recently was hired by Ernst and Young and will be going to graduate school at the University of Virginia. We are very proud of our graduating brothers and look forward to hearing about their endeavors after UF. If you know of a freshmen or transfer student coming to UF, please email our rush chair Ronnie Poole at rpoole94@ufl.edu. The Gamma Theta chapter looks forward to meeting even more alumni in the fall. It is the 85th year that Sigma Chi has been at the University of Florida, and we are looking forward to learning even more about the great history of our chapter.
