The Preamble to the Constitution of DSP

2006-02-06T23:01:56Z

The Delta Sigma Phi Fraternity in convention assembled declares and affirms the following principles:

That the belief in God is essential to our welfare.

That loyalty to the constituted authority of our nations and their subdivisions is a cardinal virtue of our Brotherhood, the pledged faith which shall never be broken; and that our Brotherhood, receiving the blessings of liberty, education and fraternity, shall ever support, foster and defend our universities, colleges, and school systems, founded under the dispensation of our governments and constituting the bulwarks of democracy for us, our posterity and for all men.

That the sanctity of the home and the sacredness of the family bond, the hearthstone of our enlightened civilization, and the chivalry of man toward woman, shall be maintained and protected by us, not only for ourselves and our posterity, but also for the good of all mankind.

That a symmetrical culture, a fraternal communion among the college of this country, and a brotherhood of men, whose ideals and beliefs are those of modern civilization, are essential to the welfare of our college men.

In furtherance of these aims, this Fraternity has recognized certain standards of attainment and gentlemanly conduct, expressed in the ideals symbolically represented by the three Greek letters Delta, Sigma and Phi; and it shall be a constant endeavor of the brothers who may be called to preside over and govern the fraternity, or its component chapter, to enforce the precepts of the Fraternity by every reasonable means within their power, and they, and each Brother of the Fraternity shall exemplify those principles by conduct as well as enforcement in order that the Fraternity may grow and prosper with honor to itself and that the world may ever be convinced of the sincerity of our purpose.

Organization History

2006-02-06T22:52:57Z

As the door closed on the final moments of the nineteenth century, a handful of undergraduate men began meeting between classes at City College of New York. Some had known one another before they graduated from the New York public school system, and they had wanted to continue their friendships at City College. The obvious solution was to join a fraternity, but there was just one problem: This was no ordinary group of undergraduates. They were an affiliation of Jews and Christians; and, at the time, entry to all-Jewish and all-Christian fraternities was barred to individuals and groups that mixed religions.

Given that their close association challenged the conventional behavior of the day, perhaps it was only natural that the undergraduates took an even bolder step by founding their own Fraternity on December 10, 1899. Symbolized by the Greek letters Delta, Sigma, and Phi, the Fraternity was based on the principle of the universal brotherhood of man.

Uptown from City College at Columbia University, the second chapter was organized in 1901 but did not become a chapter until 1902. To differentiate the chapters, the first was called Insula, from the Latin insularis, since it was on the island of Manhattan. Because of its location in Morningside Heights, the new chapter was called Morningside.

Delta Sigma Phi was incorporated in New York City on December 2, 1902. Five members of Insula signed the incorporation papers, with the stated objectives of dissemination "the principles of friendship and brotherhood among college men, without respect to race or creed." The early organizers, including Meyer Boskey (Insula), also drafted Delta Sigma Phi's laws, requiring open membership to all college men of quality. The purpose of the Fraternity, written the same year, was "to fulfill the desire of serious young college men for a fellowship and brotherhood, as near a practical working ideal as possible not fettered with too many traditional prejudices and artificial standards of membership, by a clean, pure, and honorable chapter home life."

Although such principles later would invite problems, the basic concept of the Fraternity-embracing brotherhood and congeniality without regard to religion race-not only attracted other idealists as City College of New York, it set the stage for expansion onto other campuses.

We recruit ambitious men that want to better themselves by impacting the community with their character and good deeds. As an open-minded fraternity, we praise cultural and religious diversity and recruit any quality man that shows an interest in making our fraternity the best on campus.

The brothers of Delta Sigma Phi strive to attain the highest average campus GPA as a testament to our stress on the importance of good grades. We believe that a student at Columbia University should place his highest priority on achieving good grades for both himself and his future. Brothers are encouraged to study together and help each other understand the material. Senior brothers also frequently give advice on classes and teachers to aid underclassmen in the selection of the best classes for their respective majors.

Many of our brothers play various varsity sports or are actively involved in intramural sports teams. Our fraternity believes that a student's health is vital to his well-being and is a key component of having a balanced life. Not that every brother is necessarily an athlete, but we all recognize and understand the importance of regularized exercise being an integral part of a healthy lifestyle and try to live so accordingly.

Weekly community service projects are attended by brothers to help make a difference in the lives of people less fortunate than ourselves. Such events include tutoring children, feeding the homeless, and reading books to hospitalized patients. Brothers also take part in campus activities to foster a greater sense of school spirit. We believe that Delta Sigma Phi has an obligation to enhance not only the lives of all its brothers, but also the lives of all that make up our community.
