Purpose of Delta Sigma Pi
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.
The Founding
Delta Sigma Pi was founded in 1907 at New York University: School of
Commerce, Accounts and Finance by Harold Valentine Jacobs, Alexander
Frank Makay, Alfred Moysello and Henry Albert Tienken. Today, coast to
coast, more than 250 chapters and nearly 200,000 members support the
goals and ideals of the Fraternity.

Fraternity. Members may be men and women of all creeds and colors
