Expectations

Once you have undergone the interview process and have been invited back to pledge into Delta Sigma Pi you may be wondering what will be expected of you. The pledge process is 8 weeks long and there are several things that are expected of you throughout this time. We tell most students that it is the equivalent of taking a 3 credit hour course. The following is a sample of our pledge program requirements for Spring 2010:

• 8 week long program
• Attend pinning ceremony
• 1 Tuesday evening meeting
• 4 Sunday evening meetings
• 3 quizzes and 1 cumulative final- questions and answers will be provided ahead of time to study
• Provide an updated resume
• Attend atleast 1 chapter meeting
• Put together 1 professional event as a pledge class
• Put together 1 community service event as a pledge class
• Put together 1 social event as a pledge class
• Participate in a fraternity fund raiser which helps you pay for your dues
• $15 pin rental fee due at pinning
• Pledge dues: $121
• Attend Initiation ceremony if invited to become a member

While the above list of requirements may seem slightly overwhelming at first glance, you should understand that you are given a great deal of guidance and support from the brothers of the fraternity and your assigned big brother. We have a strenuous pledge program to be able to better understand the commitment of interested students. The meetings, events, and fundraiser prepare you for what to expect during brotherhood. While quizzes only occur during the pledge process they help you understand the history and purpose of our organization. This process is well worth the effort that one puts into it because as a brother you will see many rewards.
