About Delta Sigma Phi

We the brothers of the Gamma Epsilon Chapter at San José State University strive to create a diverse brotherhood of men without boundaries regarding ethnicity, religion, and cultural background. We aim to portray ourselves as leaders by setting the academic standard as well as equally balancing all other aspects of our lives. Through philanthropy and community service, we work to better our university and community as a whole. Using these ideals, we sculpt a base in which a strong fraternity can succeed now and for generations to come.
