Delta Sigma Pi Brotherhood meeting

On Tuesday, I visited the Delta Sigma Pi Brotherhood meeting along with my friend Dennis. I learned about it through a member who was spreading awareness of the event at the top of the escalators on the second floor.

It took a bit of the time before we could enter the room, and there were many people who were waiting outside. When we were finally let in, the room filled up quickly showing just how many people were interested. I chose to sit in the back so that I could eat my lunch peacefully. Before long however, they were offering food to all of the visitors. It was a shame that I had already finished eating since the chicken looked really nice.

Soon, several members who had recently finished their internships gathered in the front of the room and began talking about their experiences in said internships. Many of them gave useful insights as to what could be expected of us should we try searching for internships along with what we might be expected to do in the case that we do secure an internship for ourselves.

Something that really stuck with me was when the members stressed how difficult and how important it was to secure the first internship. Basically all of them agreed that it was extremely important to try and reach out to as many opportunities as possible for the first internship. The first internship is the hardest, but all the ones afterwards would be much easier according to them. When going for your first internship, they said that it was unwise to be picky about getting into a large company and that being open minded about smaller companies was important. After the first internship, getting others would be much easier.

I enjoyed my time at the Brotherhood meeting, and I am very grateful to Delta Sigma Pi for the opportunity to attend a very insightful meeting.
