Delta Sigma Pi's Mission & Purpose
Purpose
Delta Sigma Pi is a professional fraternity organized to foster the study of
business in universities; to encourage scholarship, social activity and the
association of students for their mutual advancement by research and practice;
to promote closer affiliation between the commercial world and students of
commerce, and to further a higher standard of commercial ethics and culture and
the civic and commercial welfare of the community.
Historic Diversity
For more than 90 years, Delta Sigma Pi has encouraged, supported, and shaped the
professional goals and personal aspirations of thousands of members. It is quite
simply the foremost professional fraternity for men and women pursuing business
careers.
Devoted to promoting competency and achievement within the field of business,
Delta Sigma Pi also facilitates social activity among students, the community,
and business organizations.
Our purposeful philosophy encompasses all religious and cultural affiliations,
includes both men and women, and reaches from coast to coast with over 250
collegiate and alumni chapters and nearly 200,000 members.
Professional Evolution
Progressing from student to young professional to seasoned business performer,
members of Delta Sigma Pi grow far beyond classroom theory through real-life
managerial and leadership experience. Sharing each others' goals, reinforcing
common values, and the pursuit of professional excellence as a team builds a
bond of friendship - "not just four years…for life."
Community Involvement
Believing that business has both a unique opportunity and a compelling duty to
contribute to the larger community, Delta Sigma Pi is dedicated to making a
difference. Frequent community involvement instills deep feelings of brotherhood
while developing business skills.
Every year, wide-ranging activities involve members in project selection,
strategic planning, budget development, promotion, and project implementation.
Measurable results provide students with reality-based lessons and valuable
business insights from which both student and community can benefit.
Lifetime Opportunity
Hard work, shared experience, and social interaction contribute to friendships
which transcend the collegiate career. The network of Delta Sigma Pi members
coast-to-coast provides a wealth of business resources, professional contacts,
continuing education, and community support to even the newest business
graduate. Dynamic alumni groups flourish nationwide.
Embracing professional and personal development as well as community
involvement, Delta Sigma Pi chapters continue to influence and uplift their
local communities.
Developing Leaders
Opportunities to experience leadership firsthand abound in Delta Sigma Pi.
Chapter officers and committee chairs gain management, budgeting and supervisory
skills on a daily basis.
Fraternity and Leadership Foundation programming includes numerous opportunities
to learn, grow and develop personal skills. A national convention, regional
conferences, career fairs, regional leadership schools and a biennial Leadership
Academy for top students offer educational, motivational, career and personal
development sessions. Led by respected business leaders, educators and notable
alumni, these events allow business executives to interact with student leaders,
future employees and customers.
"Delta Sigma Pi provides opportunities for you to maximize your potential."
Academic Achievement
Demonstrating continuing commitment to progress, growth, and excellence, Delta
Sigma Pi funds many educational programs through the Delta Sigma Pi Leadership
Foundation, a 501c(3) charitable organization formed to support educational,
leadership and scholastic endeavors. It extends financial assistance for
scholarships, leadership development and training, and personal and professional
improvement of the Fraternity and its members. Funded by individual and
corporate contributions, the Leadership Foundation offers many levels of
participation for students, alumni, friends and corporate sponsors.
