Structure Upon Four Pillars

Professionalism

Delta Sigma Pi offers unparalleled professional development and career advantage. Our chapter has supported generations of skilled professionals through industry education, collaborative workshops, and company and networking events.

Community Service

Giving back to the local community and national causes is our identity's core. We believe "for every credit, there is a debit." In 2024, our chapter held weekly after-school volunteering at the Blacksburg Middle School. For years now, we have collected pop tabs to support the Ronald McDonald House, our philanthropy.

Brotherhood

What sets our chapter apart? Our members! As a co-ed business fraternity, we embrace and celebrate the richness of our members' varied backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives. We are committed to fostering an inclusive environment where every individual feels valued, respected, and empowered to thrive.

Scholarship

Behind each DeltaSig, there is the utmost desire to succeed academically. Our chapter is proud to offer the ZY Scholarship to exemplary brothers. We are committed to assisting our brothers with scholarships, award opportunities, and academic resources.
