DERBY DAYS Derby days has been a Sigma Chi tradition at DU for the past six years. The first Derby Days took place at the University of California in 1930. Throughout the week sorotities compete in various activities. the most popular being derby snatching. During the week. one can always tell a Sigma Chi by his wonderfully decorated derby which is the target of all the sororities. If a Sigma Chi is agile. swift. daring and clever. he might be able to keep his derby but the odds are against him. On Saturday. the Sigma Chi's entertain various Sororities in a group of events which can best be described as a Hbunch of fun. Everyone always enjoys Derby Days. Lachman Uruvnbiim
