Best of both worlds.
If you are an undergraduate student majoring in business and looking for a head start on
your professional career, thqn consider Delta Sigma Pi, the world's largest professional business
fraternity. With 187 undergraduate chapters, Delta Sigma Pi offers career advancement and
job opportunity, and is an invaluable tool in interviewing or compiling a resume. In short, Della
Sigma Pi is the best professional decision that an undergraduate can make.
But Delta Sigma Pi offers the best of both worlds: social as well as professional. This fall, we
plan to visit New Orleans, with touts of Tenneco and the Superdome. In the past, we have
scheduled field trips to Houston's Federal Reserve Bank, Anheiser-Busch brewery, and the
Houston Post.
These are just a few of the types of things Delta Sigma Pi has to offer. Come by 220 Galloway
Business Building for more information. Or stop anyone wearing a shirt saying:
.and ask, “What is a Deltasig?”
We mean Business...
and a whole lot more!
