Our Commitment to Diversity

Our Founders of Delta Sigma Pi intended to create a brotherhood as diverse as the business world would represent. Our organization succeeds in the robust exchange of ideas, which is most prevalent when the rich diversity of our perspectives, backgrounds, and experiences flourish. The Psi Chapter welcomes all students who meet our professional standards regardless of race, ethnicity, creed, religion, sex, sexual orientation, marital status, national origin, age, disability, or veteran status. Each of our members is valued and respected for the unique contribution they make to the organization.

However, in a time where racial injustice and systemic racism remain prevalent, the brothers at Delta Sigma Pi- Psi Chapter have realized that we must take further action to combat these critical issues and create change in the Wisconsin School of Business. This year, we have communicated with leaders in the Wisconsin School of Business regarding ways we can promote a more diverse environment, and have many initiatives planned to allow for a greater understanding of diversity and inclusion within our chapter.

  • Required diversity and inclusion readings with supplementary quizzes

  • Required attendance at an unconscious bias workshop prior to voting on potential new members

  • Highlighting important historical dates in our chapter and on our social media platforms such as Black History Month, Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month, and Pride Month

  • Additional diversity and inclusion related seminars and events throughout the semester to further immerse members in a diverse environment

The severe lack of diversity in the school of business must be addressed, and as one of the prominent organizations in the Wisconsin School of Business, Delta Sigma Pi is committed to using our platform to demand that the Wisconsin School of Business actively recruit a more diverse student body and educate its current students on diversity-related issues.

 

A Message From our VP of Diversity & Inclusion

Hi,

My name is Michael Samson, and I am the VP of Diversity and Inclusion for the Fall 2026 semester. I am a member of the Alpha Eta pledge class and have been in DSP for a year now.

I joined DSP because I was searching for a community on campus that would make me feel more connected to UW Madison. Coming from Chicago and having an immigrant background, I recognize how important representation truly is, especially when students see brothers who share similar backgrounds and experiences succeeding in these spaces.

As VP of Diversity and Inclusion for this chapter, I hope to create more visibility for our brothers to help them feel represented and valued regardless of their background. I am committed to ensuring that every brother feels respected, connected, and included.

Best,

Michael Samson

Vice President of Diversity & Inclusion
