Delta Sigma Pi is Holding a National Collegiate Recruitment Video Contest

Jul 20, 2020 – Delta Sigma Pi is holding a national Recruitment Video Contest for collegiate chapters, with $400 going to the winner's chapter.

Videos must be submitted by July 31, 2020 for consideration by a committee of volunteers.

Videos will be judged by the following criteria:

  • Should be 2-3 minutes in length.
  • Feature all aspects of collegiate chapter membership, including professional events, community service, brotherhood, values, etc.
  • Highlight the diversity of our brotherhood.
  • Appeal to many campus settings (not branded to one specific chapter, campus or region).
  • Overall visual and video appeal.
  • You are welcome to adapt previously-used chapter recruitment videos.
  • Feel free to include credits at the end acknowledging the individual(s) and chapter(s) who created the video.

 
Videos should:  

  • Be professional (see what not to include below).
  • Include "Delta Sigma Pi" not just the Greek letters.
  • Use proper logos, colors and terminology (such as recruitment, not rush).
  • State only business and economic majors (or pre-business) are eligible to join.
  • Reference the Fraternity being co-ed.
  • Show a realistic picture of what the organization is about by including scenes/photos/mentions of actual chapter events.
  • Use open source/royalty-free music. If the music contains lyrics, the words should represent Delta Sigma Pi.


Additional items to consider including:

  • Fraternity information:
    • Over 285,000 initiated members
    • A large network of brothers with more than 200 collegiate chapters and 50 alumni chapters
    • National leadership training opportunities
    • National scholarship opportunities
    • Non-discrimination statement
    • National social media handles


Videos should not:

  • Include racist, anti-Semitic, homo/transphobic, sexist thoughts or phrases
  • Depict paddles 
  • Include hand signs (i.e. brothers making “Delta” with their hands)
    • The use of this symbol is trademarked by a fellow Greek organization, therefore it is not approved for use in Delta Sigma Pi communications and promotions.
  • Show images of, or images that could be associated with alcohol use (such as red solo cups and brothers holding cans/bottles)

To submit before the July 31 deadline, please send a video link or raw video files to magazine@dsp.org. If selected, video files must be provided. Upon submission, Delta Sigma Pi owns all rights to the footage.
