[1][2][3] Educator and businessman Lloyd Antle proposed the idea of a professional fraternity for the fields of marketing, sales management, and selling.

Antle's concept was advanced by Henry G. Baker and William G. Harris from the college and Lewis F. Gordon, a founder of the Atlanta Sales Executives Club.

At that meeting, the Pi Sigma Epsilon's purpose was established: To create a collegiate brotherhood of men who are interested in the advancement of marketing, sales management, and selling as a career and a profession; to promote the study of marketing, sales management, selling and related subjects in colleges and universities; to bring together academically qualified students who express a desire to enter these career fields; to encourage in colleges and universities the establishing of courses preparing men for such careers; to stimulate research and improved methods and techniques in these fields; to install in its members the highest possible ethical standards of the profession.Alpha chapter was established at the college on June 2, 1952.

[2] Pi Sigma Epsilon is a member of the Professional Fraternity Association.

The fraternity's publication is the Journal of Personal Selling & Sales Management.
