Delta Sigma Phi is a nationally recognized Fraternity built on the commitment of uniting men of exceptional character to respond to the needs and demands of our society. We develop meaningful lifelong bonds amongst diverse men, empowering them to grow and develop their values and leadership, inspiring them to positively impact the world, and emboldening them to always represent the sincerity of our purpose. Our brotherhood inspires each member to be better versions of themselves and positively impact the world through their actions and influence—we challenge ourselves to be atypical, to break the mold, to be a beacon of strength for humanity. Our great Fraternity helps and encourages our members to become better students, better leaders, better citizens, better professionals… better men.

We are the worlds first anti-secret and anti-hazing organization, with rituals open to anyone who wants to learn about them. We have been on campus for nearly 40 years with an alumni base of nearly 400 members, all of whom have very different backgrounds and personalities but this organization has brought us all together. We work together to make ourselves into better men all while having a good time and helping our community through our service projects. Every winter we work with the City of Houghton, allowing us to serve our community by shoveling off the West Houghton Ice Rink after it closes every night. We raise money throughout the year to give to our Global Service Initiative which allows 60 brothers from all over the US and Canada to go to Jamaica and assist local contractors with building and expanding schools and churches as well as learning about the local culture by immersing ourselves in it.

Our main focus is to build balanced men through pursuing a sound mind and sound body, while staying true to the values of virtue, diligence, and brotherly love.

The Brothers of Sigma Pi, Zeta-Epsilon Chapter, are proud of the strong, tight-knit Brotherhood cultivated within our Fraternity since our founding in 1984. This is evident from the incredible involvement and presence of our alumni. Alumni from across the country travel to the midwest each year for our annual Orchid Ball, an event that serves as both a formal and a reunion for our Fraternity. Our continued success as a chapter has allowed us to undertake various philanthropy events over the years, including our annual Haunted Haus Charity Fundraiser. Last Fall, we raised over $2,600 from this event, all of which we donated to Pigs 'N Heat and Dial Help. We hope to give back to the larger community via philanthropy/community service, and "to promote the spirit of civic righteousness," as stated within the last of our five ideals. Young men who join Sigma Pi, Zeta-Epsilon Chapter are welcomed into a Brotherhood that fosters openness and diversity. It is commonplace for Brothers to challenge one another's ideas and beliefs; being so accepting of those who come from a diverse array of backgrounds, it is inevitable. Though we may oftentimes disagree and challenge one another, our open-mindedness and camaraderie encourage us to accept one another regardless of belief or background, and perhaps learn something along the way. Time and time again, our alumni tell stories of how joining Sigma Pi changed their lives for the better. We, the Brothers of Sigma Pi, Zeta-Epsilon Chapter hope to continue to uphold this great legacy as we daringly step-forward and shape our chapter's future.
