OUR VALUES
Professionalism
Through Delta Sigma Pi, our brothers practice professionalism to better prepare ourselves for the fast-paced, ever-evolving business world. This is developed and practiced through our professional events, hosting guest speakers from companies in various industries, holding workshops, and more. We pride ourselves on establishing supportive friendships to foster both professional and personal success, as well as finding opportunities to mentor and be mentored by experts in our respective fields. Beginning with pledging and continuing throughout a member’s life, Delta Sigma Pi provides endless professional development opportunities.
Past events have included interviews, case study and LinkedIn workshops along with resume reviews, internship panels and guest speakers.
Thank you to our professional speakers!

Scholarship
We focus on comprehensive support for our brothers, addressing both academic and professional needs. With vast college experiences, our brothers are prepared to assist one another with career guidance and class help.
Our chapter strives for academic excellence, with the majority of our chapter being featured on the University of Massachusetts Amherst Dean’s List. The Pi Rho chapter also awards scholarships to select brothers at the end of each semester.
Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion
As the nation’s first co-ed professional business fraternity, our brothers and our fraternity as a whole are dedicated to diversity. Our training and events focus on fostering respect by developing considered, sound ethical standards that are inclusive yet principled. We welcome members who meet our professional standards regardless of demographic - race, ethnicity, creed, religion, gender, sexual orientation, marital status, national origin, age, disability, or veteran status. Each of our members is valued and respected for the unique contribution they make to the organization.
Starting in the Spring of 2021, our chapter has implemented a Director of Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion, as well as a Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Committee. The Director position facilitates and educates the chapter on DE&I matters in our community and university campus through internal and external events, and collaborates with organizations (university, student RSOs, and third parties) to promote diversity and inclusion.
Leadership
Although not one of Delta Sigma Pi UMass Amherst's 4 pillars, leadership is still an important part of our chapter. With numerous opportunities to build leadership skills through training, conferences, and holding local or national offices, Delta Sigma Pi members are prepared to be leaders and continue to grow their leadership skills throughout their careers.
Our executive committee is made up of 17 different positions that play equally vital roles in the progress of the fraternity. Holding an officer position is a great opportunity for our brothers to enhance the workplace skills they will need in the business world. Click here to see our current executives for 2025!
Besides the executive board, Brothers can still get involved by joining committees, creating clubs, holding their own events, and much more.
