JOIN DSP

A MESSAGE FROM OUR SENIOR VICE PRESIDENT

DEAR PROSPECTIVE CANDIDATE,

Thank you for your interest in Baruch Delta Sigma Pi and on behalf of everyone, welcome! The focus at the start of each semester is recruiting, which enables students to grasp a better understanding of this organization, meet as many members as possible to get a better sense of the community, and learn about our principles of Brotherhood, Professionalism, and Service.

It’s a popular perception that Baruch’s reputation as a “commuter school” removes the collegial and social aspects from a typical college experience. In high school, I had the same routine of going to school, hanging out with my friends, and then going to work. However, by overcoming my nerves to get introduced to DSP at the Convocation, and Club Fair, and attending numerous recruitment events, I realized that there was a breed of students on campus with a niche drive for life just by going the extra mile and attending events. Whether it be school, work, or extracurriculars, I was immediately attracted to everyone’s ability to balance all facets of life and be well-rounded. I knew being surrounded by people who would push me to go the extra mile and continue to strive for the greater things was where I needed to be, and it became one of the best decisions I’ve made.

If you’re looking to find a source of inspiration, meet new people, or seek advice on any matter, there’s no better solution than attending our recruitment events! Please don’t hesitate to contact me, the executive board or our wonderful recruitment chairs provided to specifically help you with any questions as we’re always willing to provide assistance. Hopefully, you’re able to take away a great deal from these upcoming events and we look forward to seeing everyone there!

SENIOR VICE PRESIDENT | PI PSI CHAPTER

What is recruitment?

In the beginning of each semester, we host our recruitment week which is a number of events where we look to find who our next members will be! This is when we get to learn about you while you learn all about us.

Do I have to major in business to become a member?

Not at all! Some of our members are not pursuing business-related careers or majors. We believe our professional training program is relevant to all career paths and our community is to open to everyone.

Do I need to have any professional experience?

Not necessarily! Our members come from a variety of different professional backgrounds so we appreciate all kinds of prior experiences, including jobs, extracurricular activities, and on-campus involvement.

What should I expect from the interview? How can I prepare for it?

The interview is just an opportunity for us to get to know you better. Prepare as you normally would for any regular job interview.

How do you decide whom to invite to join your organization?

We review and evaluate each candidate holistically. Some of the factors we take into account are participation during recruitment week, interest in DSP, past experiences, personality, and ambitions.

How would you define your ideal candidate?

We look for individuals with great potential and a desire to contribute to the organization. Beyond that, we welcome and appreciate all candidates!

What can I do to improve my chances of getting selected?

We look for individuals with great potential and a desire to contribute to the organization. Beyond that, we welcome and appreciate all candidates!

How many people receive an invitation to join every semester?

We give out as many invitations as there are qualified candidates. We do not have a quota or minimum, so this is not a factor in our decision-making process.

If I don’t get a bid, can I try to join again next semester?

Absolutely, trying to join multiple times demonstrates determination which is a great trait that we look for in our candidates.
