Brotherhood.
Brotherhood is the foundation of the fraternity experience.
Every man contributes to this aspect. Brotherhood combines the
concept of individualism within the framework of mutual
cooperation. As a fraternity brother you will form friendships
unlike any found in other organizations. Brotherhood is not
conformity - no fraternity is made up of members who are exactly
alike. By choosing to become a member of a fraternity, you will
meet brothers who grow to become your closest friends - those who
will cheer you on when you're successful, and who will support you
when the going gets tough.
Develop leadership skills.
As you can clearly see, being in a fraternity builds leadership
skills. In the fraternity, you will be "in charge" of an event or a
duty. Everyone in the fraternity is a leader, whether you're an
officer, an executive, on a committee, or just a participant. You
will learn by doing. You'll learn how to manage a budget, run
effective meetings, speak in public, motivate others... skills that
will help you in college and throughout your life. These days it
takes more than just a degree to get a good job - it takes
leadership experience, and by running for an office in a
fraternity, you can get as much as you can handle.

Academics.
The academic portion of your
university career is a major determinant in your future success.
The primary purpose of the fraternity system is to encourage and
develop high scholastic achievement among its members. Just over
50% of students in a university or college end up graduating.
However, if you belong to a fraternity, your chances of graduating
increase to over 70%! Fraternity members help each other
succeed!
Gain real world experience.
If you're an accounting major, you can work with chapter

Regardless of your major or field of interest or position in Delta
Sigma Phi, there's something for everyone.
Career networking.
After graduation, knowing alumni of Delta Sig will help you get
your foot in the door. A recent MIS graduate was given 2 interviews
for employment by alumni immediately after graduation. If you're
moving to a new city for a job, it is likely that a Delta Sig
alumni would live nearby.
Large social circle.
Being in Delta Sigma Phi means that your social circle grows and
it provides an easy way to meet many new people outside of the
dorms or your classes that you might not have been able to meet
otherwise. Delta Sigma Phi is a National fraternity with chapters
on campuses all over the United States, so you could go almost
anywhere and be near members of Delta Sig.
Entertainment and recreation.
There's always something to do with Delta Sigma Phi. You never
have to be bored again. You can participate in social events with
sororities, or philanthropy events that help you bond with your
brother's and promote a healthy donation to society. Our fraternity
is also very committed to athletics, have some fun and participate
in intramural leagues we sign up for or our annual football game
with the other fraternity. There's never a lack of opportunities to
socialize.
