Commitment to a Diverse Brotherhood
Founded from Diversity: Delta Sigma Pi was founded over a
hundred years ago to be America’s preeminent professional business
fraternity. Part of that founding was to form a brotherhood of people
from diverse walks of life, at a time when other organizations excluded
certain groups from membership. A great strength of our Fraternity is a
membership as diverse as the business world, for which we are preparing our members.
We are a mixture of different voices from different backgrounds
that challenge fixed ways of thinking and lead us to excellent ideas
at both the chapter level and in the business world.
A Diverse Fraternity: Delta Sigma Pi is a diverse brotherhood.
We were the first professional business fraternity to go co-ed,
admitting women in 1975. We welcome into our membership students
of business who meet professional standards of admission, and
our policies allow no exclusions based on race, ethnicity, creed,
religion, sex, sexual orientation, marital status, national origin,
age, disability, or veteran status.
Diversity Ideals into Action: Delta Sigma Pi puts its commitment
to a diverse brotherhood into action, going beyond a non-discrimination
policy, and extends a Welcome to those of all walks of life
who meet our professional standards. Every one of us is an
individual with different abilities to offer, and we seek out
and honor those differences. Delta Sigma Pi strives to provide
fraternal friendships with people different than ourselves,
giving that feeling of bonding that a fraternity of people
with similar goals can uniquely give.
