IOTA PI

Who Are We?

The Iota Pi chapter of Delta Sigma Pi was founded at San Diego State University on May 5, 1979. Known for being America’s foremost Professional Fraternity for men and women pursuing careers in business, Delta Sigma Pi has a strong presence and network at the SDSU campus. Brothers of the Iota Pi Chapter promote three core pillars of Professionalism, Brotherhood, and Commitment. In addition to creating a life-long brotherhood, members of DSP take part in numerous professional, social, and community service events at SDSU and the San Diego community.

Candidates for membership in Delta Sigma Pi must receive an invitation to join from a local chapter, complete an orientation program, and demonstrate a willingness to perpetuate the ideals of the Fraternity. Members may be men and women of all creeds and colors engaged in the study of business or related fields. Cross-membership in Greek social fraternities and sororities is permitted.
