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.
Leadership

as membership in Delta Sigma Pi.
When you become a Deltasig, you align yourself with the best and
brightest men and women in the business world of today and tomorrow.
You will gain lifelong friendships and marketable skills that will
help advance your professional career. And you will see and be seen

Discover that business and pleasure are inseparable when you share
ideas, experience and achievement with your peers.

Delta Sigma Pi was founded
by Alexander Frank Makay, Henry Albert Tienken, Harold Valentine
Jacobs, and Alfred Moysello. The four members founded the organization
in 1907 at New York University. In 1911, the fraternity published
its first newsletter, which soon would be named The Deltasig. The
Delta Sigma Pi Scholarship key was created in 1912 and is now awarded
to the graduating senior (whether or not a Deltasig) with the highest
cumulative GPA at any college or university that hosts a chapter
of Delta Sigma Pi.
Soon after the second chapter was founded at Northwestern School
of Commerce. National meetings became a regular tradition and to
this day the national fraternity meets every other year to conduct
business and elect its national leaders. After rapid expansion in
the early 1920s, the fraternity opened its national headquarters
in Chicago, Illinois. In 1957, the central office moved to Oxford,
Ohio, adjacent to the campus of Miami University. The biggest change
in the history of the fraternity took place in 1975, as the Board
of Directors mandated that chapters were allowed to initiate female
business students, to conform with Title IX. Initially this move
was very unpopular among many members, but today many chapters have
female officers.

 The
national administrative headquarters of Delta Sigma Pi is the
Central Office. It was established in Chicago, Illinois, in 1924
where it remained until the fall of 1956 when it was moved to
330 South Campus Avenue in Oxford, Ohio (near Cincinnati) and
its own building. The Executive Director is in charge of the Central
Office and has a full-time staff, including a Director of Finance
and Administration, Director of Chapter and Expansion Services,
Executive Vice President of the Leadership Foundation, Director
of Education and Communications, Director of Information Services,
Assistant Director of Communications, Membership Services Coordinator,
Educational and Leadership Consultants and administrative personnel.
An ever-increasing computer network is employed to expedite the
routine of the Central Office and the handling of thousands of
inquiries responded to annually. The Fraternity database contains
information for every member initiated, as well as historical
data and records. The library of the Central Office contains files
on schools of business administration in the United States, copies
of all issues of The DELTASIG and bound membership records for
every member of Delta Sigma Pi from the very founding of the Fraternity
in 1907.
Over one hundred different items of jewelry, chapter supplies,
forms and manuals are stocked by the Central Office for the use
of collegiate and alumni chapters and individual members. The
DELTASIG, official bulletins, all manuals and other Fraternity
publications are edited and distributed by the Central Office.
The Central Office is geographically located in the heart of the
Fraternity's activities. The headquarters building is adjacent
to the Miami University campus which affords a true college atmosphere
and a perfect environment for the national operation.
