Frequently Asked Questions About Rush

• Who Is Delta Sigma Phi?

        Delta Sigma Phi Fraternity was founded December 10, 1899, by a visionary group of young men at the City College of New York.  The Fraternity was unique at the time because its founders valued diversity and refused to allow societal pressures to advance their interest in personal and professional growth.  From the inception, the founders created an organization based on the "universality of human brotherhood" in which the "question of nationality or religion of its individual members need not and must not play any part whatsoever."

        Delta Sigma Phi, a values-based organization that encourages personal development through the fraternity experience, has grown to become one of the nation's largest fraternities.  Our members focus on academic success, being sound in mind and body, campus and civic leadership, and building strong bonds of brotherhood.

        Locally, Delta Sigma Phi was founded in 1994 and is one of UK's newest and fastest growing fraternities.  Our AWARD-WINNING CHAPTER is made up of a diverse group of men who embrace the balance between scholarship, athletics, networking with local alumni, and socializing with UK sororities.

        Delta Sigma Phi is not the stereotypical fraternity - rather a lifelong experience.  Delta Sigs are "down to earth" and support one another in building better men and preparing brothers for experiences beyond UK.  If you are interested in leadership opportunities, building lasting friendships, making a difference, and being challenged to a greater good, then DELTA SIGMA PHI IS THE FRATERNITY FOR YOU!  We are committed to building better men and look forward to sharing the Delta Sig experience with you.
