Derby Days 2005 Raises Over $1000 for the Children's Miracle Network

A Derby Days three years in the making: Alpha Theta brothers hosted Derby Days 2005 on the last weekend of September this fall. It was the first time Alpha Theta had hosted the festival since Spring 2003. This year, leadership aimed to increase the size and scope of the festival to include other MIT fraternities as well as the general MIT undergraduate body. To accomplish this goal, Alpha Theta collaborated with Tau Zeta Epsilon Society from Wellesley as well as Alpha Phi Sorority from MIT. We also received support from Weekends@MIT, the FSILG Office, the MIT Public Service Center, and Alpha Theta alumni.

Derby Days far exceeded our expectations. Over 150 people attended the kickoff concert to see performances by the MIT Chorallaries, Muses, Logarhythms, Plush Daddy Fly, Roadkill Buffet, and the Wellesley Tupelos. Rachel Anderson from the Children's Miracle Network delivered a keynote speech on philanthropy opportunities in the Boston area. On Friday night, nearly 400 people converged on old 532 Beacon Street for a date auction, which, in itself, raised over $600. Eleven teams registered for the competition which took place on Kresge the next day, with a team from Tau Zeta Epsilon Society winning the festival.

Many thanks to all participants and donors for all their help in making Derby Days 2005 a success. We look forward to next year and Derby Days 2006! Check out the website for more details.
