Scholarship

The Delta-Rho Chapter, in accordance with the creed of Sigma Pi Fraternity International, desires for all of its members to improve upon their scholastic achievements. In order to make this possible, the following program was developed and approved by the executive council and the active Delta-Rho chapter of Sigma Pi Fraternity International.

In order to address the Delta-Rho Chapter’s diverse needs, the program was created as flexible plan which consisted of multiple levels.
