Recruitment FAQ

Recruitment (sometimes called "rush") is a week-long series of events during which our chapter is able to meet, engage with and recruit people to join our fraternity. This is also a time for you (the "rushee") to learn more about what Delta Sigma Pi has to offer and get to know the active brothers.

What if I am already a member of another fraternity/sorority?

You are welcome to be a member of multiple Greek organizations. However, members of other professional fraternities under the Professional Fraternity Council are discouraged from applying. Members of Alpha Kappa Psi, Phi Chi Theta, and Phi Gamma Nu are not eligible to apply.

Do I have to attend all days of Recruitment?

Attendance is not mandatory, but we highly encourage you to attend both Meet the Chapter and Social Night, which are open to all students, as well as any subsequent events you are invited to. Participants who attend more events will have more opportunities for us to get to know them.

How do I get an invite for the invite-only events?

If we think you are a good fit for us, you will be invited to attend further events so we can get to know you better!

What is the Bid Interview? What are “bids”?

The Bid Interview is the only formal interview in our recruitment process. After the interview, successful applicants will each receive a bid — an official invitation to join our pledge education program.

What is the pledge education program?

If you receive a bid, you will undergo our pledge education program before officially becoming an active member. Our pledge education program will take place over several weeks in the quarter and serves to initiate new members into the fraternity.

If I don’t get a bid, can I reapply in the future?

Yes! Every year, we meet many great candidates but are unable to accept everyone. If you are unsuccessful this time, we highly encourage you to come out again to our future Recruitment events. If anything, you might even stand a higher chance on your second try!

What should I wear to recruitment events?

We encourage every participant to dress in what makes them comfortable. We only ask participants to dress in business professional attire during Professional Night and the Bid Interview.

Why should I rush Delta Sigma PI?

Delta Sigma Pi is UCLA’s premier business fraternity. We provide vast resources across a variety of fields from investment banking and consulting to entertainment and technology. Our brothers can attest to how helpful our expansive alumni network is in both mentorship and referrals. We have brothers in almost all the business organizations at UCLA thus allowing for mentorship opportunities in all corners of business.
