FAQs

What is recruitment?

Recruitment is a series of social, professional and community service events open to all students who have interest in joining our organization. Our events give recruits a chance to meet brothers, learn about our organization and improve personal and professional skills.

What is a bid?

An invitation given to a prospective member inviting them to join the fraternity via a pledge education process.

If I don’t get a bid can I go through recruitment again?

Yes, and we encourage it! We have plenty of brothers who were not offered a bid during their first recruitment. Sometimes individuals learn from the process and are able to better prepare for the next round of recruitment.

What is a pledge?

A student can become a pledge once they receive a bid to join our chapter of Delta Sigma Pi and accept the bid in the formal Pledging Ceremony. This ceremony and the accepted bid is the start of the 5-week pledging process.
