Congratulations, Ella.
Ella Whittington of Alpha Chi Omega is the Epsilon Zeta Chapter’s 2026 Derby Days Sweetheart — and personally raised $19,100.10 for the Huntsman Cancer Foundation.
Thank you, Ella, for showing up every day this week — for rallying your sisters, leading her chapter’s fundraising push, and for helping us reach $74,601 for cancer research. We are grateful for you.
From every brother at Epsilon Zeta — with thanks.
A moment from the week
Derby Days, but make it puppies.
A favorite from the week — thank you to our collab partner for bringing the puppies and for showing up so big the whole way through.
Moments like this are why Derby Days works. Friendly competition, a real cause, and a week of memories the chapter and our partners will keep.
The 2026 sweetheart court
Every sister who ran for Derby Days Sweetheart helped power this week — organizing her chapter, driving donations, showing up on Greek Court. Thank you to all the candidates who made Derby Days 2026 what it was.
