What are Delta Sigma Pi's requirements for rush?
In order to rush Delta Sigma Pi, you must have good academic standing in the College of Business. In addition, you must be a freshman, sophomore or first semester junior. This is because there is a requirement of two (2) active semesters after your pledge semester and new initiate semester. If you are an international exchange student who will be studying at the University of Illinois for your pledge semester and a subsequent semester, you may also rush Delta Sigma Pi.

What does the rush process for Delta Sigma Pi involve?
Our Rush process consists of three (3) different nights:

1. The first part is a professional night where you will be involved in short one-on-one interviews with approximately 5-6 brothers in Delta Sigma Pi. During these interviews, you may ask questions about the fraternity. We will also be trying to gain a better understanding of you and your interest in the fraternity. Since this is a professional night, we do require professional attire (shirt, tie, slacks).
   
   
2. The second part is our social night. During this night, you will have more freedom to talk openly about whatever it is you are interested in. There is a small snack served at this stage. This is an opportunity to ask current Deltasigs about the various social events and activities we host during the semester. The dress is social and is usually themed but this is an opportunity for you to wear whatever you would like.
   
   
3. The third and final part of the Rush process is a panel interview given by 6-7 Deltasigs. This night is by invitation only and is professional dress. After this interview is over, a member of Delta Sigma Pi will contact you within 24 hours regarding an invitation to join our newest pledge class!

What if I do not own any professional attire?
If you do not own any professional attire and cannot find someone to borrow from, DO NOT BE DISCOURAGED FROM ATTENDING! Delta Sigma Pi was founded on the principles of help and service and we would be doing our founding fathers an injustice by refusing you for that reason. If this is the case, come to our first rush meeting and let us know. We will do our best to make suitable accommodations for you!

How many people are normally selected to join Delta Sigma Pi each semster?
There is no typical size for a pledge class in Delta Sigma Pi. However, the normal range of pledges is usually 15-25. We select our members based on the quality of their characteristics.

Can I be in a social fraternity or sorority?
Yes. Several of our members are in social fraternities and sororities and find them both manageable.

Can I be in another business fraternity?
No. It is against our bylaws to accept someone as a member of our fraternity who is a member of another business fraternity.
