[COMMUNITY] Habitat for Humanity

Event Date: February 21st 2009
Vice President of Community Service: Alexa Patterson

The recent economic crisis is plunging already strained families into ever worsening circumstances. With 3 in every 100 Arizona homes facing foreclosure and credit at an all-time low, there seems to be little hope for those families facing disaster.

While most students slept through their Saturday morning almost 20 Delta Sigma Pi members were up working hard to help mitigate the recent financial crisis's effects. Brothers built a home for a small family from the ground up, enjoying not only a fun bonding experience but the opportunity to serve the community which supports our Business education.

[SOCIAL] Spaghetti Dinner

Event Date: February 20th 2009
Vice President of Pledge Education: Lisa Atkinson

Every semester the Delta Sigma Pi chapter hosts their pledges in this laid back family style traditional italian dinner. Over 45 guests enjoyed tasty pasta and salad dishes at this backyard event cooked up by the Delta Sigma Pi membership.

We recognize that the Italians definately had it right! Spaghetti is a great way to get a family together. So while the Spaghetti is definately the highlight of this fun evening, the true purpose of this gathering is to further the lifelong bonds created throughout membership in the chapter. What a better way to do just that then over a bowl of fresh pasta?

[PROFESSIONAL] Recruiter Workshop

Event Date: February 12th 2009
Vice President of Professional Events: Arnav Guleria


Delta Sigma Pi had the opportunity to learn from a former Black & Decker marketing manager and JPMorganChase recruiter how to better their resumes and create a competitive advantage in interviews. Jyll Harthun, an ASU graduate who has locked in over 5 years of professional experience, went over objective ways to dazzle a recruiter with a resume and interview that makes you jump off the page.
For example, Harthun emphasized highlighting the results of one’s efforts in a company.
“Saying you worked as a sales rep is great, but if you can tell me you were top salesperson 4 months in a row and outperformed the group by 18% then I’m going to be thoroughly impressed” said Harthun to a group of 20 Delta Sigma Pi members and pledges.
Also delineated were the merits of using narrative in an interview as opposed to listing out abstract points.
Pledges and actives had a lot to learn from this experience; in this economy more than ever a solid resume and impressive interview shows that you care about your presentation to the professional community. With the help of Jyll Harthun and the Business Career Center, Delta Sigma Pi members will be able to better communicate their professional advantages.

[RUSH] Rush Week Events

Original Event Date: January 26-30, 2009
Senior Vice President: Neta Berger

Once a semester Delta Sigma Pi opens our otherwise exclusive events to prospective members. We encourage them to meet the Brothers and get a clearer feel for their commitment to Delta Sigma Pi and its ideals as the premier business fraternity.

Monday members enjoyed a complimentary frozen yogurt in Delta Sigma Pi's private sectioned-off region of Yogurtini!

Tuesday displayed Delta Sigma Pi's professional facet at a Business Mixer with some of our distinguished Alumni membership; already providing added value and networking opportunities to Prospectives.

Wednesday the already tight-knit group blew off some steam at Boulders on Broadway playing some Pool and Darts on our private floor, with complementary food and drink.

Thursday the chapter and Prospective enjoyed a casual BBQ at Dalley Park. Not only was the food amazing but a spontaneous arm wrestling match and a game of horseshoe toss made the night a success.

Friday capped the full week of activities at a Formal Reception in Pizzeria Uno’s. It was an evening of sophisticated connecting and pleasant dining where Prospectives mingled with their future pledge brothers and enjoy the company of the active chapter.
