Derby Days has two types of events: Fundraising and point-based competitions. These events are spread out over a five-day period.
Fundraising competitions enable sororities to raise their charitable donations. From collecting online to on-campus, sororities compete in events such as “Dunk-A-Sig” where they buy balls to sink Sigma Chi brothers into a dunk tank; “Coins for Cash” requires them to collect as much loose change as possible and attempt to fill an entire jug by the end of the week. These are just a couple of examples.
As a way to further broaden our outreach, new aspects are being incorporated such as “The Blues Jean Bar Pop Up Shop” to expand our fundraising efforts into the larger Boston community, and the “BU Derby Race” that takes off of the Kentucky Derby races. At the end of the week, the sorority who successfully collects the most cash and points wins the Derby Days title!
