Sigma Phi Delta has provided me with many opportunities to grow socially and professionally in a safe environment. I have made many good friends here and have a lot of fun throughout my years in college all while setting me up for success in my career.

Sigma Phi Delta has allowed me to develop my character and sense of identity. It gave me opportunities to explore professional development and give back through community service. I wouldn't be the person I am today if it weren't for SPD.

I joined Sigma Phi Delta looking for an engineering network and ended up finding my closest friends in college. It’s the only place where people will help you debug a lab at 2 a.m. and then turn around and hype you up for a career fair the next morning.
