Recruitment Week '10!

Hello readers!

This past week as you all know is RECRUITMENT WEEK! It has been an extremely busy and successful time for the Zeta Pi chapter! We had over 120 students take interest in our co-ed business fraternity at last week's Activities Fair, and just about half of those students are starting to prepare for their upcoming interviews. I'm extremely excited to see and get to know the upcoming Pi Pledge class! BRING ON THE PLEDGES!

In addition to Recruitment Week, on Saturday, September 11, the Zeta Pi chapter hosted the Delta Sigma Pi Eastern Regional Conference. Over 50 brothers from neighboring chapters including Philadelphia University and Penn-State University (just to name a few). We two keynote speakers including Tom Calloway and Gwendolyn from LECG-Smart who delivered a riviting speech about what employers are looking for and helpful interviewing tips. In addition to that, we had the opportunity to learn about how the other chapters carry out their numerous events and recruitment strategies through their Powerpoint presentations. Overall, it was a great success and a big thanks to all who had made the conference a success!

Stay tuned for the next blog!


Until next time!

Hello 2010-2011 School Year!

What's up everybody?!

My name is Joe Kocher! I am the new Historian for the 2010-2011 school year! I just wanted to take this opportunity to introduce myself and let you know my goals as a Historian and in the business world!

I am currently a sophomore, International Business major who is looking..I mean GOING to make it huge in the business world! Move over Donald Trump! I decided to pledge Delta Sigma Pi as a meek and mild, first semester Freshman looking to establish my roots in the Saint Joseph's University community. Mid-way through the pledging process, I was skeptical whether or not I wanted to continue. After a quick phone call to my dad, I decided that I was going to finish what I had started! A few short weeks later, I became a brother! Becoming a member of Delta Sigma Pi was hands down the BEST decision I made thus far in my college career. I HIGHLY encourage any business or economics students to look into pledging. You will be extremely pleased with what our fraternity has to offer.

Now that I am a member of Delta Sigma Pi's executive board , I want to become more involved in the hands-on,planning aspect of our fraternity. Whether its helping other executive board members with planning their respective events or going the extra mile to help a brother out, I want to have a more positive involvement with our fraternity! As the historian, I will be covering just about every event by taking pictures and blogging about the current happenings with our fraternity. I HIGHLY encourage you all to check back on this blog to stay updated with all of the wonderful events our fraternity will be running and involved with!

Today, September 9, 2010, SJU is having the annual Activities Fair. I encourage everyone to stop by the Delta Sigma Pi booth and pick up information about our upcoming recruitment events that will be occurring NEXT WEEK! Stay tuned!

Until next time!
Joe Kocher
