The mission of the Leadership Foundation is to raise money, to provide scholarships and fellowships to members, and fund educational programs of the Fraternity.

PARTICIPATING in an alumni chapter or in the various national leadership and professional development events; ATTENDING collegiate chapter events; SERVING on the national level as a Board of Directors member, Regional Vice President, District Director, or national committee member; ESTABLISHING a new collegiate or alumni chapter in your area; ASSISTING a Regional Vice President or other national officer; DONATING money or services to the Delta Sigma Pi Leadership Foundation and/or chapters.

The ideal member of a chapter of Delta Sigma Pi is one who subscribes to the objectives of the Fraternity, and, in so doing, is willing to subordinate his or her own will and viewpoint to that of the majority. The brother is tolerant and sympathetic to the viewpoint of others. Such a member will attempt through college work, scholastic or otherwise, to bring credit to himself/herself and in turn to the Fraternity. Duties allotted should be promptly and cheerfully performed to the best of ability. If elected to chapter office, it should be considered a distinction and an obligation to serve members and the Fraternity. The brother should remember that "he profits most who serves best" and that returns from membership in a fraternity are commensurate with the giving. The ideal member will therefore give to the Fraternity, and to the Leadership Foundation, to the best of his or her ability and expect the reciprocity which eventually comes to every giver.

The ideal chapter is one in which each member actually lives and carries out the objectives of the Fraternity. In such a chapter there should always be perfect harmony and accord. Each member should be tolerant and sympathetic to the viewpoint of others. Each member should be actively engaged in work which reflects credit not only to himself/herself, but to the organization. The ideal chapter, through its officers, maintains constant and constructive contacts with the Central Office of the Fraternity, the alumni of the chapter, and the other chapters and members of the Fraternity. Such a chapter successfully sponsors a professional program and other activities which bring to the attention of the faculty and the student body the fact that the chapter is not only alive and exceedingly worthwhile, but that it also has a prominent place on the campus and performs useful and important functions.
