There were a bunch of events we did (some of which I will not mention on this board). I do remember participating in Skit Night. We had two Sigma Chi's as like our "guides". I guess each sorority had two Sigma Chi's. They guys "had to" (at least I think they did) participate in that sororities skit. All I remember (since it was in 1998) is that we made our poor guy dress up as a woman. I also only remember that in the end Theta won Derby Days.

This sounds like a typical Derby Day.
Again, it varies campus to campus. Most last a week and are referred to as Derby
Days while on some campuses, it may be a day event and simply referred to as Derby
Day.
In any case, Derby Days should be a week/day of “focused community servicing” and involve events, games, skits, or activities. Derby Days usually involve a competition between the sororities and on some campuses, women's dorms and or independent groups as well. All the while,
and hopefully, raising funds for charity.
