Delta Epsilon Iota

Delta Epsilon Iota was founded in 1994 at the University of Georgia as an honor society that recognizes academic excellence in all fields of study.{{Cite web |date= |title=The History of Delta Epsilon Iota |url=http://www.deltaepsiloniota.org/link2.htm |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20020810192415/http://www.deltaepsiloniota.org/link2.htm |archive-date=2002-08-10 |access-date=2024-05-28 |website=Delta Epsilon Iota National Honor Society |via=web.archive.org}} The founders were Andrew J. Bond, associate director of career planning and placement, and Richard M. Drye, a student. At the time, Drye was being recruited by the “Big 6″ accounting firms while still an undergraduate. The idea of the society was a reaction of the increase in this type of recruiting tactic.
