Antonio Marquez

Vice President of Pledge Education

My name is Antonio Marquez, and I am a current fourth-year majoring in Management and Business Economics. Towards the very early part of my undergrad years, I decided to join the social fraternity of Pi Kappa Phi. This organization provided me many uncommon opportunities to work on myself and develop into a leader. I went from just being an active member taking part in committees to a chair position with my own committee and ultimately used these experiences to take on the role of being President of the Kappa Mu chapter of Pi Kappa Phi. During my second semester as president, I was one of 12-chapter presidents in the country to be part of small council that serve as advisors to our national office. Around this time, I realized that I needed to work on the professional part of my life and that was what led me to Delta Sigma Pi. That same semester I became an initiated member of Delta Sigma Pi as part of their Kappa class. I am currently the Vice President of Pledge Education for the Tau Chi chapter of Delta Sigma Pi. I know my time here at DSP will not be long however I hope I can leave my mark on this chapter by sharing my experiences and helping out this chapter in any way I can.
