ΔΣΠ (Delta Sigma Pi) is a co-ed professional business Fraternity in the United States of America. It was founded in November 7, 1907 at New York University and is currently headquartered in Oxford, Ohio. The Fraternity has over 240 active chapters with over 210,000 initiated members.[1]

Delta Sigma Pi is a professional fraternity organized to foster the study of business in universities; to encourage scholarship, social activity and the association of students for their mutual advancement by research and practice; to promote closer affiliation between the commercial world and students of commerce, and to further a higher standard of commercial ethics and culture and the civic and commercial welfare of the community.
Delta Sigma Pi was founded by Mr. Alexander Frank Makay, Mr. Henry Albert Tienken, Mr. Harold Valentine Jacobs, and Mr. Alfred Moysello. The four members founded the organization in 1907 at New York University.
In 1911, the fraternity published its first newsletter, which soon would be named The Deltasig.
The second chapter was founded at Northwestern School of Commerce. National meetings became a regular tradition and to this day the national fraternity meets every other year to conduct business and elect its national leaders.[citation needed] After rapid expansion in the early 1920s, the fraternity opened its national headquarters in Chicago, Illinois. In 1957, the central office moved to Oxford, Ohio, adjacent to the campus of Miami University. The biggest change in the history of the fraternity took place in 1975, as the Board of Directors mandated that chapters were allowed to initiate female business students, to conform with Title IX. Initially this move was very unpopular among many members,[attribution needed] but today many chapters have female officers.
