Sigma Chi Raises Thousands for Cancer

Editor's Note: The article is about derby days in oregon. They raised just over 15
thousand for charity, which is a great thing. But doesn't our chapter
generally raise a significantly larger amount than that?

Each day during the competition, Sigma Chi set up coin drives outside The Duck Store and sold T-shirts to raise money for the Huntsman Cancer Foundation. At Thursday's competition, the sororities choreographed their own dances that featured members of Sigma Chi.

The dances represented a wide range of genres, from Gamma Phi Beta's swing dance routine to "Hey Big Spender" to Pi Beta Phi's gangster twist to a medley that included "Singing in the Rain." Performances also included hip hop by Chi Omega and Delta Gamma, Kappa Delta's adorable revive of 1920s-style "flappers," and Alpha Chi Omega's performance of a piece titled "High School Drama," which drew laughter from the crowd.

Kappa Kappa Gamma won the competition, having received the most overall points.

Overall, Sigma Chi raised $15,242, far surpassing its original goal of $10,000. Wolfe said the amount is the largest Sigma Chi has ever raised and said he thinks it "may be the largest amount a Greek house has earned in a while."
