In 1970, the original building nearly doubled in size with the addition of wings on either side of the building. In the fall of 1956, it moved to 330 South Campus Avenue in Oxford, Ohio (near Cincinnati and adjacent to the Miami University campus). The Central Office ĭelta Sigma Pi's national administrative headquarters was established in Chicago, Illinois, in 1924. Five years later, in 1926, Jacobs also suggested that the song currently sung at LEAD schools and Grand Chapter Congress events, Rose of Deltasig be adopted as the official song of the fraternity. Jacobs, suggested a rose as the official fraternity flower because his wife loved roses and it was also her first name (Rose Jacobs). It was primarily the gift given to the wives and courted women of Deltasig brothers (which at the time was still all male). The red rose was adopted as the official flower of Deltasig at the first Board of Directors meeting in 1921. The official colors of Delta Sigma Pi are old gold and royal purple. The letters Δ, Σ, and Π are inscribed on the skull, set with amethyst eyes, a crown on top highlighted in red lacquer, often enhanced with surrounding pearls. The official badge of Delta Sigma Pi is a skull and crossbones, superimposed on a wreath of leaves. In 1911 the fraternity published its first newsletter, which soon would be named The Deltasig.

The biggest change in the history of the Fraternity took place in 1975, as the Board of Directors mandated that chapters were allowed to initiate female business students, to conform with Title IX. In 1957, the central office moved to Oxford, Ohio adjacent to the campus of Miami University. Īfter rapid expansion in the early 1920s, the fraternity opened its national headquarters in Chicago, Illinois. National meetings, called the Grand Chapter Congress, became a regular tradition and to this day the national fraternity meets every other year to conduct business and elect its national leaders. The second chapter was founded at Northwestern School of Commerce.
