Biography

Delta Sigma Pi (est. 1907) is a leading business fraternity in the United States.

Delta Sigma Pi was established on November 7, 1907 by Alexander Frank Makay, Alfred Moysello, Henry Albert Tienken, and Harold Valentine Jacobs, who were business majors at New York University. At the time, there was only one business organization on campus, and it was exclusive and not open to many students. In response, these four students decided to start an organization that would be open to all business students. It grew rapidly due to its inclusive membership and commitment to scholarship and civic engagement. In 1924, the Central Office headquarters was established in Chicago. The Central Office was moved to Oxford, Ohio in 1956, where it resides today. Chapters were established in all parts of the country during the 20th century. In 1975, the organization announced it would accept women, in compliance with Title IX.
