The Pledging Process

Pledgeship is a seven week process during which potential members operate their own unique mini-chapter in order to coordinate events and meet pledging requirements. Pledges meet once a week and are responsible for electing their own officers, planning events, and passing quizzes and an examination on the fraternity and its history.

​Each pledge class receives the responsibility and experience of planning a community service event, a professional event, a social event, as well as undertaking fundraising initiatives to finance all pledge events. Pledges will also meet with each brother of the chapter to cultivate personal relationships with members.  Each pledge will be assigned a "Big Brother" who will serve as a mentor to the pledge. During this time, a great emphasis is placed on professional growth and teamwork.  It is also an important way to learn more about the fraternity and its operations before being initiated as a brother.

Pledgeship Testimonial

Aaron Bovaird
Spring 2018

"The pledging process for Delta Sigma Pi was challenging, yet very rewarding. Over the course of eight weeks, I made many friendships, built my professional skills, and gained confidence in my leadership skills. I was also able to participate in a variety of different activities, including taking a tour of a steel plant and access to various professional presentations. Pledging helped me grow both personally and professionally, and I can’t imagine how much more I will learn as a brother. "
