On Sept. 7, The Mu Phi Chapter of the professional business fraternity, Delta Sigma Pi, spent their final recruitment event making cards for patients at the local Covenant Healthcare hospital.
Rhea Schultz, fourth year international business major and President of the Mu Phi chapter at SVSU, discusses the event and her fraternity’s mission:
“Community service is a core value of our fraternity, and we wanted to implement such within our recruitment to give potential members an idea of what our events going forward may be like.”
She then elaborates on her Fraternities relationship to Covenant Health:
“We chose Covenant Health as recipients of such due to a network we have built with them in the past through our fraternity’s membership,” she said. “When our members come together, we learn about each other, (and) it allows us to gauge and interact with personal networks as an organization and carry out an initiative such as the card-making event for patients.”
When asked about the turn out, Shultz had this to say:
“Turnout was great for recruitment, saw many applicants come out and join, as well as general student body engagement,” she said. “For events we welcome all students. We encourage engagement from students of all majors, not just business, to establish a presence and connection with the University and Student Body.”
Schultz explains more details about the club:
“Delta Sigma Pi is the nation’s leading gender-inclusive professional business fraternity, with a commitment to equipping our members throughout their careers to make a greater impact in their business, civic, and personal lives,” she said. “At SVSU we foster the Mu Phi Chapter, recognized as America’s best business fraternity.”
She then explained that there are 4 core tenets of Delta Sigma Pi that they use to guide them.
“Community Service, Professionalism, Brotherhood, and Education/ Scholarship. We will [also] host at least 4 community service events per- semester.”
Finally, Schultz explains who the fraternity is for:
“Delta Sigma Pi is open to all business students who value the initiatives that our 4 pillars
require,” she adds.
“These individuals tend to be student leaders and/ or business brains of all personalities and backgrounds,” she said. “I never thought I would find myself involved in Greek Life in any capacity, yet once I found out there was professionally based business fraternity, the business nerd and organizer within me did not hesitate to get involved.”
To pertain membership within Delta Sigma Pi, you must have one of the majors within the College of Business.
