Delta Sigma Pi Pledging and Initiation Guidelines

Delta Sigma Pi was founded on standards of inclusiveness and tolerance, and these extend to our pledging and initiation practices. To maintain a positive and fun experience for everyone involved, Delta Sigma Pi established guidelines governing the pledging and initiation processes for all chapters. The following resources will help you as you plan pledging events for your chapter.
