Statement Of Purpose: Delta Sigma Pi Application

I am a second year student at the University of California, Irvine studying economics writing to express my interest in joining your business fraternity, Delta Sigma Pi. I am applying to your fraternity because through interactions with brothers in your fraternity, I have seen a level of respect, professionalism, and passion for business that I relate to. I believe that with my work ethic, positive attitude, and experience working with people from different backgrounds and with different ideas will allow me to be a productive member of your brotherhood that will also give back to the brotherhood. I also know how much Delta Sigma Pi is able to help Brothers when it comes to industry exploration, and I would like to be able to help expand some of these efforts to the UCI community to help increase the awareness of different career options post-graduation.

I have worked at my parent’s small convenience store as a clerk for the past four years. My experience working there taught me about the social and financial sides of business. Each time customers came in, I made sure to ask them how their day was in order to create a connection and if they were regular customers I made a point to remark on a topic they brought up on their last visit. By taking the time to get to know customers I was able to create personal
relationships with the customers which is a vital part of creating customer loyalty. My ability to work with different people was bolstered in high school while I was the student body president. My main duty was to lead the coordination of school-wide events like pep rallies and assemblies. To put on these events, I had to work with different social groups within the school which taught me how to change how I approached giving the same proposal to different kinds of people. Along with that I learned how to accept other visions of the same goal and taking them into account to create something greater than originally intended.

As a result of my work and leadership experience, I have gained the traits that your fraternity desires such as: responsibility, organization, leadership, and professionalism.
I understand that as a current economics student at the University of California, Irvine, being a part of Delta Sigma Pi will help me grow greatly in my personal and professional life. Not only do I want to gain but I also want to give back to the brotherhood by lending my knowledge in creating personal relationships and planning social events for the enjoyment of fellow brothers. I am excited to be given this opportunity and appreciative to be considered. Thank you for your
time.
