Clemson University’s chapter of the Delta Sigma Pi business fraternity has received the most improved chapter and outstanding service awards from the organization’s Southeastern Region.

The Kappa Tau chapter of Delta Sigma Pi is composed of about 100 freshman-to-senior members considered to be high-achieving students inside and outside the classroom. One of two business fraternities on campus, Delta Sigma Pi is open to students pursuing a business-related degree.
