What is Delta Sigma Pi?

As the only nationally recognized co-ed professional organization on Duke’s campus, Delta Sigma Pi is a diverse and tight-knit community of motivated individuals looking to help each other succeed in their personal, academic, and professional aspirations. Joining DSP connects you to more than 80 distinguished members, a prestigious world-wide alumni network, exclusive networking opportunities with top firms, individual interview preparation, and more. Besides for the professional benefits, we are also a group that loves to have fun together - ask our members about their stories from our annual holiday party, semi-formal, cabin retreats, and dinners in Durham. Delta Sigma Pi is more than a club - it’s a community comprised of some of your closest friends at Duke that also happen to be the most professionally prepared students on campus.

Frequently Asked Questions

    Besides for being a nationally recognized business organization, DSP is one of the most diverse co-ed organizations on Duke’s campus in terms of our brothers’ backgrounds, interests, and aspirations. We are united by our willingness to support each other in achieving our academic and professional goals. If you’re looking for mentorship and guidance on identifying careers that are the best fit for you, navigating the complicated professional recruitment process, finding upperclassmen mentors, and spending time with some of your closest friends in college, DSP is the organization for you.

    Beginning in the first few weeks of the fall and spring semesters, recruitment consists of two rounds of professional and social events designed to help prospective members determine whether or not DSP is the right fit for them. After the first round, prospective members that have made a good impression and demonstrated promising fit will be invited to a second round. We encourage all Freshmen and Sophomore students that are interested in joining to follow our Facebook and Instagram to be updated when recruitment starts and come out to an info session to learn more.

    Not at all! Most of our brothers are also affiliated with other social organizations on campus like fraternities, sororities, and selective living groups (SLGs).

    Yes you can! A lot of our brothers recruited more than once. In fact, we encourage potential recruits to try again even if they aren’t accepted the first time as it is a very competitive process.

    It varies by member as what you put into our organization is what you will get out of it. Our new members are required to complete our new member education program which includes mandatory attendance at a weekly meeting and a few other events. Additionally, brothers are required to attend monthly chapter meetings and recruitment events in the beginning of each semester.


Diversity and Pillars

In Careers:
Through their ambition, open-mindness, and hard work, our brothers excel in all areas of business, including entrepreneurship, technology, marketing, consulting, and investment banking, to name a few. Whether you want to work in Silicon Valley or on Wall Street, for an innovative start-up or a Fortune 100 company, Delta Sigma Pi provides the network, resources, and mentorship necessary for you to land your desired job. All you have to answer is, “What is my dream job and company?”
In Community:
Delta Sigma Pi is one of the most diverse and well-connected communities on campus. Our brothers are leaders of other organizations, varsity athletes, musicians, artists, entrepreneurs, and academic scholars. We come from a variety of backgrounds, with 18 different countries represented, and have extremely diverse interests and achievements, from a Yo-Yo national champion to a Rhodes Scholar. You’re guaranteed to expand your circle and hang out with unique people that you would never have met if not for DSP.
In Ideas:
The most important thing we value is our brothers’ thoughts and ideas - their voices are always heard. Through our open committee system, we encourage brothers to demonstrate leadership by actively contributing to the advancement of DSP. Want to plan your own event? We’ll fund it! Have a new recruitment idea? Attend our weekly Executive Board meetings! Each year, we have new professional and social events that are pioneered by brothers that are passionate about improving our organization. At DSP, we know that you have a vision and we want to be a part of it.
In Professionalism:
Delta Sigma Pi is deeply committed to the professional development of its members. We provide the knowledge and resources necessary to prepare you for interviews, access to our distinguished alumni network, exclusive networking opportunities with prestigious firms, and unparalleled mentorship to guide you through each step of the way. As a result, we have a consistent track record of placement into the best firms in various industries. Throughout the year, we also host multiple guest speaker events, professional workshops, and competitions to unite the Duke community in the mutual goal of professional advancement.
In Brotherhood:
The Sigma Tau chapter prides itself on creating a tight-knit community and well-rounded experience that spans beyond professional and academic settings. To foster camaraderie between its brothers, we host a cabin retreat, semi-formal, dinners in downtown Durham, movie nights, spikeball tournaments, and various other social events every semester. Joining DSP guarantees that there is always something and someone to do things with. The people you meet will become some of your closest friends during and after college.
In Service and Scholarship:
Delta Sigma Pi is dedicated to making a difference in the Durham community because we believe that business has both a unique opportunity and a compelling duty to contribute to the larger community. The Sigma Tau chapter works closely with the Duke Farms, Habitat for Humanity, and Ronald McDonald House through community service and fundraising events. We also host an annual Swishes for Scholarships basketball tournament that has raised over $2,500 for the Durham Public Schools Scholarship Foundation to send public school students to college.
