1. Why you chose DSP
2. Your best memory of DSP
3. What you gained from your Brotherhood
4. How will you apply DSP to the next stage of life
5. What you would have changed about DSP
Shortly after graduation I moved to
London, intending to stay for about six
months but as things never go according
to plan, I have been over here for nearly
three years now.
I work as a commodities analyst for a
mining and metals consultancy called
CRU Group, a relatively small London
based company.
Other than that, just travelling around
Europe whenever I get the chance.
1.
Meeting people and getting more involved in the business school.
2.
Too many memories to count, but attending the LEAD conference in Mesa
was pretty memorable.
3.
As much as DSP really does help to prepare people for the “real world,”
the friendships are really what stick with you the most after leaving MCB.
4.
Life after DSP is, once again, all about the relationships you build and the
network it provides.
5.
When I was at UNC, the chapter’s interaction with the alumni was
minimal.
Because of Delta Sigma Pi and Monfort I
am now a Financial Advisor with the #2
"Best Company to Work For" ranked by
Fortune Magazine.
1.
I heard about the business fraternity from a friend. I thought it would help
my resume having something business-related to fill all the white space.
2.
Retreats, by far.
3.
Friendships that extend way beyond college years. I still stay in close
contact with several brothers.
4.
Delta Sigma Pi allowed me to gain leadership and professional/social skills
to maximize the opportunity afforded to me by the Monfort College of
Business
5.
I would not have changed a thing about my experience with Delta Sigma
Pi.
Along with being a new dad. I am a
Factory Rep & Account Manager selling
Italian Porcellan Tile to Dealers,
Architects & Designers throughout
Florida.
1.
A family connection to DSP. For me, it came down to having a better
connection with many of the individuals in the Nu Phi Chapter.
2.
Our social activities. I think probably from the formal dance which was so
much fun... and it wasn't because of my dance moves!!
3.
Camaraderie/ friendships/ contacts. I see the members of DSP to be a
group of smart & motivated people who are on the road to success
4.
Now that I am actually in "the next stage of life", I apply lessons learned
with DSP quite frequently. Within my profession and also as a member of
a private club, the experience and perspective in making contributions &
compromises to reach common goals continues to be very helpful.
5.
I have very few critiques of DSP & Nu Phi while I was there. For me it was
very beneficial.
Two weeks ago I was a networking
function. I was talking with a few young
professionals and college came up. Along
with college came organizations we
belonged to. One of the business
associates I was chatting with said DSP.
It was so fun to be able to connect with a
stranger about something we both had in
common. Best part about it that person
is no longer a stranger but someone I will
do business with.
FIVE YEARS after graduating DSP is still
working in my life.
1.
The networking opportunities and to get myself ready for the business
world.
2.
My best memory of DSP was going to LEAD in Albuquerque, meeting new
people, attending a conference and learning how broad DSP really is.
3.
Being an active member of the chapter taught me some very important
leadership skills, like prioritizing my time and working will all sorts of
different people.
4.
I am sure something that I learned from DSP will come in handy in all the
stages of my life. I use the peoples skills, leadership skills, time
management skill daily.
5.
I wish that everyone in the chapter had been as devoted as I was. The
networking with local companies could have been better.
I currently work at CIGNA
Healthcare with a reference
from Laura (Williams) Tapparo
and now Carrie Furusho works
here too!
1. DSP really had what I was looking for, I knew a couple brothers and
immediately felt welcome and part of a group with the same interests.
2. Definitely retreats!
3. Lifelong friendships. I meet with several brothers on a regular basis and
some are my best friends now!
4. Through DSP, I was able to get acquainted and form relationships with
brothers, which later in life helped me find my current job. It allowed us to
keep in touch and we are all very close now.
5. Not sure how we would have done this as it seems to be a problem every
year, but somehow we needed motivators to encourage participation in
events which in turn I though would have helped new enrollment each
semester.
I joined DSP in my senior year and
have moved away from Colorado
after I graduated.
1. At the time, I thought it would be fun to be a founding father of a new
organization at UNC. It gave me an opportunity to meet new people and
work toward a common goal.
2. I was able to meet new DSP members at my graduate school in Oregon. It
was great to know that I didn't have to start graduate school alone. I
already had a friend there :0)
3. I learned my first interviewing skills at DSP. Also, I made lifelong friends
that I still keep in touch with. It's great when you are looking for a job.
4. I keep in touch with a few of my fellow brothers to see if their employers
have opportunities that I may be interested in. It's always nice to know that
there are other people out there willing to help you out.
5. In college, I would have liked to have had more career skill activities (e.g. CV
workshops, interviewing skills, etc.) and more interaction with business
people.
1. I was looking for a great way to get involved and meet people, as well as
gain knowledge outside of the classroom setting.
2. Retreats were always something that I would look forward to each and
every semester. I made some of my closest friends through DSP.
3. My HUSBAND! My husband and I met through DSP. We were great friends
for many years before getting into a serious relationship. The rest is history!
4. I use the leadership experience and time management in my job currently.
5. Nothing – it was a great way to spend 4 years of my college career. I loved
every minute of it.
Editor of medical transcripts at the CU
Med Center.
1. I saw opportunities to help the community such as special Olympics
basketball.
2. My DSP moment would be regional conference in the fall of 1996 because
the collegiate members were recognized for establishing the Nu Phi chapter.
3. I gained a network of brothers in the Denver alumni chapter who continue
to give back to the community such as socks which is for homeless kids in
Denver.
I am currently the Director of Game
Entertainment and Operations for the
Rapid City Rush professional hockey
team. I have worked for them two years
after working for the World Series of
Poker in marketing and PR immediately
after graduating.
I hope to work for an NHL team and
maybe some day get the opportunity to
run entertainment for my favorite
Colorado Avalanche.
Without Delta Sigma Pi, I wouldn't have
been able to get where I am today.
1. Friends were in it and a friend took me to the meet the chapter. I didnt feel
AKPsi was the same thing, I thought it was more of a club than DSP.
2. Retreats and initiation! Social bonding time with the brothers. Centennial
Grand Chapter Congress.
3. Friends for life. The majority of people I still talk to outside of college are
DSP friends. They are the people I can still count on to this day.
4. If there was a chapter in my area I'd stay involved. What DSP taught me
with the leadership positions helped shape my business ethics and morals
and helped me get to where I am today.
5. I am not sure if there is anything I would change. I just wish it would have
grown even more from the point we left it.
I have been a member since the spring of
2001. I regret that I can't be there tonight
I graduated with a degree in Marketing in
Dec 2004. It really doesn't seem like it
was that long ago!
I got a job with Enterprise Rent a Car
upon graduation and have been with
them ever since. I am currently in our
Insurance Sales & Marketing Department
as an Account Supervisor and I love it. I
got married last summer and live in
Littleton.
1.
The main reason I came to Delta Sig was that I wanted to be involved on
campus.
2.
I can't think of a bad memory of my years with Delta Sig. My best memory
was going to the LEAD conference that year it was held in New Orleans
3.
I met amazing people in Delta Sigma Pi, people I could laugh with, call when I
needed something or just to hang out.
4.
I developed skills that I have taken with me into my current career. Delta Sig
was great for networking. I also discovered new things about myself.
5.
I really wouldn't have changed anything. It seemed like every year we were
coming up with new ideas to out-do what we had done in the past.
Graduated UNC in 2004
Currently Assistant Manager with Kohl’s
1.
When I went to the meet the chapter meeting, I met Natalie, who took the
time to talk to me and get to know me and encourage me to join.
2.
When I was SVP and we recruited over 40 pledges that semester!
3.
Valuable leadership skills and self-confidence (I was very shy before I joined
DSP and was more of a follower than a leader)
4.
I am a manager now and use the leadership skills that I gained from DSP in
my everyday job.
5.
Everyone having the same passion I did about actively participating in this
great organization rather than sitting by and watching
I am sorry I am unable to attend tonight.
After Graduating from UNC I joined the
Denver Alumni Chapter and continued
my involvement. Since then though I
have moved back to the forgotten city of
Grand Junction CO and am working at the
local Sam’s Club as their only Marketer
and Sales rep. Basically I market to the
entire western slope and eastern Utah.
All while planning an up coming
wedding.
I hope you enjoyed the PowerPoint it was
the quickest way to hear from Brothers
like me.
1.
I was originally really involved with the Performing Visual Arts School but had
a Business Major DSP was my ticket to meet people that I would actually be
attending class with
2.
Being Centennial Chair I got to plan a statewide formal where 200 brothers
and their families got to connect!
3.
The ability to face any challenge and not be afraid to speak my mind. And the
WONDERFUL friendships that were created along the way
4.
As I move on to the next stage of my life I plan to continue to utilize my DSP
network and to find new ways to become involved as an active alumni.
5.
The ruts…. We always seemed to try the same things over and over vs
pushing the boundaries of our box and thinking outside of it
If you want to more details about any of the alumni
in the PowerPoint please talk to Katie Young.
Thank you to the Alumni and to you for Attending
Meet the Chapter 2010
