Brotherhood.
The friends you make in Delta Sigma Phi are friends for life. The kind of brotherhood and bonds that are developed in the chapter are as close to family bonds that you can get with a group of people. When you join you’re not just gaining friends, you’re gaining brothers.
Develop leadership skills.
Your involvement with the Fraternity can help develop leadership qualities and strengthen your ability to work with other people.
Gain real world experience.
If you’re an accounting major, you can work with chapter finances. If your major is marketing, get experience being our chapter recruitment chair. Regardless of your major or field of interest, 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.

There’s always something to do with Delta Sigma Phi. You never have to be bored again. From social events with sororities, to just always having guys around to hang out with, there’s never a lack of opportunities to socialize.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is joining a fraternity just paying for your friends?
Most organizations charge dues, whether they are a sports team, a local club or a fraternity or sorority. Since fraternities and sororities are non-profit organizations, dues are used to fund various parts of its day-to-day operations, including: academic incentives, national membership dues, scholarships, sporting and social events, and many other normal everyday expenses.
Is there hazing?
Absolutely not. Hazing is illegal and UW - Eau Claire, our national organization and our chapter have regulations prohibiting hazing. However, it is not only regulations that prevent us from hazing. We believe that everyone should be treated with respect and hazing would show a lack of respect.
How much time is required to join Delta Sigma Phi?
As with many endeavors, the amount of time and effort you put in to Delta Sig will affect what you get out of it. Ultimately, it is up to the individual to determine how much time and involvement they put into the chapter. We require that you attend weekly meetings and, when it fits within your schedule, the events of that week. Academics are important to Delta Sig, so at no point will you be forced to choose between school and a Delta Sig event.
How are fraternities different than other organizations?
When you join a fraternity, your membership is not just limited to your time in school. Membership in a fraternity is a lifetime commitment and the friendships and bonds that you make while in school stay with you forever. Members of Delta Sigma Phi are as close to family as you can get away from home.
Are fraternities just like they are shown on TV?
Fraternities are nothing like they are portrayed in movies and on TV. We like to have fun, but the academic responsibilities and public service that we are committed to are frequently overlooked for the generic stereotypes of fraternities.
