Mission
The mission of the organization is to encourage students to excel academically, educate students on career development issues, and promote the principles of Dedication, Enthusiasm, and Initiative in all aspects of campus life.
History
The Society was founded in 1994 by Andrew J. Bond, Associate Director of the University of Georgia Career Center, and Richard M. Drye, a student at the University of Georgia. Despite the many great services offered by the Career Center, the top students seemed to have limited interaction. Andrew and Rich decided to team up to start an organization that would solve this problem.
In 1999, The Career Center at the University of Michigan ( Ann Arbor ) wanted to start the organization on their campus and helped develop the “chapter” model which is still in use today. Once the model was perfected, the organization could quickly and easily be replicated at colleges and universities around the country.
Membership
Both undergraduate and graduate students are invited to become candidates of Delta Epsilon Iota based on their academic qualifications. Undergraduates are required to have a minimum of 30 semester hours with at least a 3.3/4.0 GPA at an accredited university. Eligible students should be invited by their local chapter.
