Updated bylaws are available online at dsp.org/bylaws. Bylaw Article XVI, Section 3 was amended to determine the naming of collegiate chapters after Psi Omega—since we were running out of names in our conventional approach! Chapters after Psi Omega will thus be designated with two Greek letters in reverse alpha order: Omega Psi, Omega Chi and so on through Omega Alpha; and as Psi Chi, Psi Phi and so on through Psi Alpha; etc. Bylaw Article XIV Section 5 was amended to allow the Board of Directors to lengthen terms of suspension or probation to match discipline terms given by a university. 

NOVEMBER 2015/THE DELTASIG OF DELTA SIGMA PI 13 Chapter Management Program Recognition The Chapter Management Program is divided into three achievement levels: Accredited Chapter, Chapter of Recognition and Chapter of Excellence. The CMP allows chapter members, national leaders and staff to evaluate chapter operations and activities. Chapters are required to submit items to the National Fraternity to achieve each level and are expected to reach the Accredited Chapter level, which includes the minimum standards for every collegiate chapter. If all requirements for Accredited Chapter are completed, the chapter should strive to achieve the second level, Chapter of Recognition, and then the third level, Chapter of Excellence.

Congratulations to the 54 chapters that reached Chapter of Excellence, 83 chapters reaching Chapter of Recognition and 109 that earned the Accredited Chapter in 2014-2015! EXCELLENCE A Chapter of Excellence is a chapter that is operationally sound with a well-rounded program focusing on larger scale events and National Fraternity promotion. To earn Chapter of Excellence, a chapter must achieve the Accredited Chapter tier, the Chapter of Recognition tier and complete the required and optional items for the third tier. These are the top performers in Delta Sigma Pi.
