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.

History

Delta Sigma Pi was founded by Alexander Frank Makay, Henry Albert Tienken, Harold Valentine Jacobs, and Alfred Moysello. The four members founded the organisation in 1907, partly in response to being discrimated against by an already established fraternity on campus, based on religious and ethnic reasons. 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 with the highest cumulative GPA at any business school with a Delta Sigma Pi chapter. 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, however today many chapters have female officers.
