E 6 Lgnfld Delta Sigma Pi was founded at New York University in l907. Thirteen years later, in l920, Zeta Chapter of the fraternity was founded at the Evanston Division of Northwestern University. Delta Sigma Pi is not a social fraternity, it is rather an association of pro- fessionally-minded men who have a common interest in commerce. But our activities are both social and professional. We have held house parties, formals, banquets-everything that one associates with the social fraternities-but in addition we have held numer- ous l'smokers when we have had excellent talks from men who are experts in their commercial fields. This professional activity is the sort of thing that shows the seriousness of the ambitions of the men of Delta Sig, for they never overlook a chance to benefit from the knowledge and experience of men who have been over the paths that they themselves are almost set to follow. Men of Delta Sig are mostly men of Junior and Senior standing. They are therefore more limited in the time they can spend on outside activities than those fraternities comprised of partly lower-classmen, yet they manage somehow to compete in such things as intramural athletics. Men of Delta Sigma Pi are more closely bound together than is the rule in such associations, for through everything the tie of mutual interest and ambition extends and binds the members together as nothing else could.
