Let's Celebrate Deltasigs!  

In the 1970s, Title IX of the Federal Higher Education Act was bearing down on the then-male-only organization of Delta Sigma Pi. Title IX denied federal funding support to institu tions that allowed organizations with restricted membership to operate on campuses, which affected many collegiate chapters of the Fraternity. During the 29th Grand Chapter Congress in 1973, the first constitutional amendment to open Delta Sigma Pi membership to women was overwhelmingly defeated. At the next GCC in 1975, another vote was held, but it failed too. Then on November 7, 1975, the Board of Directors unanimously voted to open membership of Delta Sigma Pi to women (the action was ratified and finalized at the 1977 GCC).

This November 7, Delta Sigma Pi is celebrating 50 years of women being initiated into the Fraternity! To honor this anniversary, we are providing informational and historical profiles about some of the dedicated Deltasigs of our organization— all throughout the year.
