Delta Sigma Pi, one of the nation’s largest professional business fraternities, recently held its Central Gulf Region Awards with The University of Alabama’s Alpha Sigma Chapter earning four honors.
“Receiving these four awards is incredibly meaningful to our chapter because they recognize several different areas of what we work toward as a professional business fraternity,” said Emilie Wakeman, Alpha Sigma Chapter’s president. “We are especially proud to be recognized not only for our overall success, but also for our continued growth, professional development initiatives, and commitment to community service. These accomplishments would not have been possible without the involvement and dedication of our members and executive board.”
