Professional Events
Professionalism is one of the main pillars on which the foundation of Delta Sigma Pi was built upon.
Here at Delta Sigma Pi, our goal is to take aspiring business students and develop them into business professionals. The characteristics of professionalism and professional activities is one aspect that distinguishes Delta Sigma Pi from volunteer groups, clubs, scholastic honor societies and social fraternities. These professional activities provide numerous networking opportunities with people in the business world and these interactions leads not only to internship and job opportunities, but friends as well. The attention to the development of professionalism by the Brothers of Delta Sigma Pi allows us to distinguish ourselves from other business students and job candidates. These events not only provide Deltasigs with the chance to meet professionals, it also gives potential employers the opportunity to interact with eager and talented students ready to enter the work force.
Every semester, we host a variety of professional development workshops which include, but are not limited to, a Resume workshop led by the School of Management’s Director of Placement Jillian Kroll followed by a week of open resume critiquing office hours, cover letter workshop, business etiquette (dining and dress) workshop, interview workshop, etc. We work closely with both the faculty and industry professionals so that we may host panel discussions, guest speaker lectures, debates and firm presentations.
Some of the firms we work with include the “Big Four” accounting firms (PricewaterhouseCoopers, Deloitte, KPMG, Ernst & Young), mid-sized accounting firms (RSM McGladrey, Grant Thorton, etc.), investment banks (Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, JP Morgan, etc.), as well as many other firms in order to enhance recruitment efforts and provide information sessions.
Furthermore, every spring semester we host our biggest event of the year, Dress for Success. Dress for Success is our annual business attire fashion show that displays the do’s and don’ts of business attire, describing both the appropriate and inappropriate apparel for business professionals in various settings. Recruiters from multiple firms attend, participate and sponsor the event as well.
Delta Sigma Pi is committed to the professional growth of all business students alike and we look forward to seeing you at one of our events.
With all this said, Delta Sigma Pi is constantly looking for fresh and relevant events to host on this campus. If you have any ideas or would like to see an event happen on campus, do not hesitate to contact our Vice President of Professional Activities, Paul Cho at pcho1@binghamton.edu.
