Fraternity History
Three of the four founders of Delta Sigma Pi. Harold V. Jacobs, Alfred Moysello and Alexander F. Makay
Delta Sigma Pi was founded in 1907 by four business students at New York University, the School of Commerce, Accounts and Finance. Harold Valentine Jacobs, Alfred Moysello, and Alexander Frank Makay and Henry Albert Tienken realized the top business organization was not open to many students. They saw an opportunity to impact their fellow students and the campus as a whole. They acted on this feeling immediately by creating an organization for business majors - this inclusive organization became known as the International Fraternity of Delta Sigma Pi.
Delta Sigma Pi continues to grow every year and impact the lives of collegiate scholars studying business. Being the nation's foremost business fraternity, we uphold high standards that include the building of relationships, skills and ideals necessary to impact wherever their life may lead. We highly value the lifelong partnerships with our members as well as upholding the values in our purpose. |

PROFESSIONALISM
Being a professional business fraternity, Delta Sigma Pi partakes in networking trips to better understand the business world first handedly. We connect with a large number of recruiters and employees in a variety of companies. We are proud of our professionalism and implement the advice we are given by professionals to better ourselves in the College of Business and in the corporate world. We also hold chapter professional events where we host guest speakers who enlighten us on their career paths. This includes how they handled obstacles, their company overall, any advice they would like to share, and more. |
LEADERSHIP
Together, we create an honest, ambitious, and motivated environment where all members are willing to help each other on our individual journeys throughout life. There are plenty of opportunities for members to become involved in executive and director positions. Leadership is a lifelong skill, therefore as members of Delta Sigma Pi, we emphasize this characteristic in our everyday lives. Our founders created this organization to promote closer affiliation between the commercial world and the students of commerce. Therefore, being the oldest business fraternity at Ohio University, we strive to continue this success and impact the lives of not only each other and the campus as a whole, but the world itself. |
SERVICE
Delta Sigma Pi is a part of something bigger. Giving back to the community and society is viewed as an honor. We seek to impact the lives of individuals and families no matter the distance. Whether it's leaving influential notes around campus, cleaning up trash on campus, or making Valentine's Day cards for the local nursing home, we are always finding ways to partake in giving back to society. Athens is the #1 most food insecure country in Ohio. It is an honor to be able to say we give back to our community directly by donating goods or volunteering at local food pantries packing food to be delivered to those in need. Our organization also holds fundraising events where all proceeds are then donated to local charities. |
BROTHERHOOD
Cultivating respectful and loyal friendships with each member in our organization is a requirement as a brother in the Alpha Omicron chapter. We value setting time aside from our daily routines to sit down and chat with each member to hear their story. We are all capable of creating friendships, however in our organization we value these friendships because they last a lifetime. Aside from helping each other with classes, our members show their hidden talents on the field or court during our intramural sports games. We also partake in numerous social activities to network within our own organization. |
