<p>anyone in this frat? Do you like it? more emphasis on academics or socializing or both?
I'm debating on whether to pledge or not</p>
<p>I know some people in DSP, they’re chill people. Other business frats to consider are SPL(I’m friends with their vice president) and BAP(I know a bunch of people here too). Go check them all out and see where you get along best.</p>
<p>I attended their event fall quarter, but rushing seems like a lot of work (another 4 unit course in their words) and I wasn’t prepared for that on top of all my other classes so I didn’t rush. It’s a co-ed professional frat though. The people who are in it are nice, though I have met some people that seemed a bit arrogant.</p>
<p>Just asking, probably not planning to join, but do they accept math majors, too? The website says that they only take in Business majors, but in other colleges, they take in business and majors so I was a bit confused. Don’t entirely know how the system works but don’t think I’m going to join any of them unless it does have some kind of benefit to my future other than just partying all the time, but there’s not anything math oriented at the same time.</p>
<p>From what I remember, they accept Business, Economics, Business Economics, CS, and ICS majors. I have friends in DSP that I can ask.</p>
<p>I think there’s a huge misconception regarding how fraternities work and what they can offer. The bottom line is, the fraternity is what you make of it. It’s not just about partying, networking, finding jobs, volunteering, or being a resume builder. It can be any, none, or all of them. Each fraternity is different. There are social, professional, honors, leadership, volunteering, or ethnic fraternities. You can’t simply join one and expect to be set for life because you’ll be sorely disappointed. </p>
<p>Anyways, I have close friends in DSP and I can tell that they are genuinely thankful for being a part of it. I can’t tell you if it’s worth it because that’s something up to you to decide and each person has different goals. But if you’re thinking of a future in business, which is vague, I can’t see how joining a professional fraternity can hurt. People believe fraternity=party when it’s so much more. Just rush and try it out. The whole point of rush week is to try out which fraternities you think will help you. You’re never committed to anything until you pledge.</p>
