OUR CHAPTER

The Albany/Upstate New York Alumni Chapter is a group of Delta Sigma Pi alumni in New York's Capital Region who truly show that brotherhood is not just for four years, but it is for a lifetime.  The chapter was re-established and franchised in June 2018 and has been active ever since.  On average, the chapter hosts an event each month to engage our membership in areas of professionalism, service, and social activity.

 

The alumni chapter is conveniently located next to two collegiate chapters: Siena College (Theta Upsilon) and State University of New York - Albany (Zeta Psi).  Being nearby the collegiate chapters provides the alumni chapter ample opportunity to network with the future business leaders of our community.  

 

Are you looking to reconnect with your brothers? Are you ready to help us serve our community? Are you excited to mentor our students in business?  The alumni chapter provides all of these opportunities for you - inquire today on how to join!
