Philanthropy is an important part of the Sigma Chi experience. Active members commit hundreds of service hours each academic year in support of a wide range of worthy charitable events.

Derby Days is an annual charity fundraiser hosted by most Sigma Chi Chapters. Missouri State University Students are invited to participate in this week-long event to raise money for the Huntsman Cancer Foundation where 100% of all proceeds are donated. The Huntsman Cancer Foundation has been the preferred philanthropic partner of Sigma Chi since December 2012. HCF was founded by Significant Sig and Order of Constantine Sig Jon Huntsman Sr., PENNSYLVANIA 1959, in 1993.

Sigma Chi hosts Derby Days to exemplify our values by enhancing our community through engagement in cooperative, goodwill events; service activities; and fundraising for charity.
