About Delta Sigma Pi
CHAPTER HISTORY
The Lambda Phi Chapter of Delta Sigma Pi was founded on 14 May 1988 at California State University, Long Beach. It was established by 23 dedicated students of the School of Business who all had the same vision of building one of the greatest chapters in Delta Sigma Pi's history. Not only is this chapter now one of the best in the region, but also in its province with around 700 brothers since its establishment.

Delta Sigma Pi was founded as a fraternity for business majors in 1907 by four men who met as freshman at New York University’s School of Commerce, Accounts, and Finance. Alexander Frank Makay, Alfred Moysello, Henry Albert Tienken, and Harold Valentine Jacobs didn’t know each other prior to matriculating, but became friends through their classes and shared train rides to and from school. Discussing the exclusivity of one organization dominant on campus at the time, the four decided to start a fraternity open to all business majors. The organization they founded became Delta Sigma Pi.
