A Message From Our Vice President of Brotherhood

Hi everyone!

My name is Preston Haefner, and I am the VP of Brotherhood for the Psi Chapter of Delta Sigma Pi. I am currently a sophomore studying finance and I joined in the Fall of 2025 in the Alpha Eta pledge class.

DSP is a professional fraternity, but what sets it apart from many other organizations on campus is its brotherhood. I decided to rush DSP my freshman year, because I was looking for a community of like-minded people who would support me in my career, and that is exactly what I found. Through my three semesters in DSP, I have come to know all of the brothers on a personal level, and as I have heard from alumni, these connections last forever. Our chapter is full of people who want to see each other succeed. Brotherhood not only helps you grow personally, but also professionally.

As Vice President of Brotherhood, my role is to plan and organize events that will strengthen the connections among brothers and bring the chapter together. As well, creating an environment that all brothers feel welcomed to be themselves and build lasting relationships through shared events. This semester as VP of Brotherhood I am organizing parents weekend, boat day, the Brewers’ game, Dragonfly Yoga classes, events with other clubs and professional fraternities, and other social events.

Please feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions or ideas regarding brotherhood initiatives. I look forward to continuing our strong tradition on brotherhood within our chapter and make more memories along the way

Best,

Preston Haefner

Vice President of Brotherhood

Brotherhood Event Examples

Typically in April, we organize a fraternity wide trip to Devil’s lake where we hike, grill food by the lake, play games, and have a great time with one another. This event has been a great opportunity for brothers to build their connections with each other as we spent a full day out in the sun without the pressure of classes. Events like this give the chapter not only an opportunity to get outside and have fun with one another, but a chance to make lasting memories with the fraternity and show that we stand as not just a brotherhood but a family.

Prior to finals is when we typically plan a mental health event to prepare for the stress associated with the ending semester. During this event I plan on discussing how to be a supportive brother to friends and other DSP members who are struggling with their mental health. I focus primarily on supporting others because mental health is not something that can be solved alone, but rather needs a support structure of understanding, mental health literate friends. I want to ensure that DSP can be a community that is not afraid to stand up and help one another when we are in need. Because when we uplift one another we display the brotherhood and care that DSP stands for.
