Derby Day Events
Here is a bit of Derby history from the University of South Carolina. 
Campus Traditions
Quote:
Some traditions, such as Derby Day, just weren’t politically correct anymore, said Harry Lesesne, MA ’95, Ph.D. ’98, associate director and historian of the USC Bicentennial Office.
Introduced by the Sigma Chi fraternity in 1947, Derby Day featured sorority sisters competing in the Miss Venus pageant, wearing high heels, short-shorts, tight blouses, and paper bags over their heads.
