Founding: The Society was founded in 1913 by professors from New York University, Harvard University, and Yale University who believed they should give recognition to outstanding students. Their vision has guided Delta Mu Delta for over 100 years.

The Society Key: The badge of the Society is a key in the shape of the Greek letter delta. The Greek initials of the Society appear on its front, and above them is a full-rigged ship with sails set and colors flying, symbolizing the activities of the business as a bond that unites all people. Only Society members may wear this trademarked key.

The Society Motto: Delta Mu Delta stands for the Greek phrase “Dia Matheseos Dynamis,” or “Through Knowledge, Power.” Our goal is to support people who have the power, through what they have learned, to manage creatively for social and economic good.

Professional Affiliations: As a member of the Association of College Honor Societies, Delta Mu Delta supports high standards for recognizing achievement as signified by honor society membership. Delta Mu Delta is the Honor Society for business programs accredited by the Accreditation Council for Business Schools and Programs (ACBSP).
