Colony members are making preparations to soon be welcomed into Delta Sigma Pi's active roll of chapters. If the petition is approved, the installation will be scheduled for Saturday, December 4, 2021. 

The Minnesota-Duluth Colony developed from conversations by student Morgan Blade who met Mark, Minnesota State, and Linda, Winona State (MN), Dorn while he was working an internship in the summer of 2018. With an interest to learn more, Blade kept in touch with the Dorns during 2018-19 and communication began with Dale Clark at Central Office as well. This group has worked tirelessly to recruit strong brothers and build a consistent and strong foundation.

While hosting outdoor events, the colony members became friends and built strong relationships outside of the Zoom/virtual nature and now petitions with 37 students. The group has shown their professionalism and work ethic having hosted a welcome BBQ event during Welcome Week at the University of Minnesota Duluth -- adapting to the accommodations of food permits, event detail shifting, and overcoming poor weather conditions. Not being able to attend as many in-person events this year has not diminished the level of brotherhood the colony has found. The group even found creative ways to fundraise in a tiring year, including an annual “DSP Bags” tournament which raised over $750 in the first two years.

“This is a motivated and ambitious group of individuals who are ready to become brothers, and who represent all the ideals and characteristics that our distinguished Fraternity has” says Amy Briggs, Colony District Director.
