DECA (organization)

DECA (also known as Collegiate DECA on the college level, and previously known as Delta Epsilon Chi and Distributive Education Clubs of America) is an international association of high school and college students and teachers of marketing, management and entrepreneurship in business, finance, hospitality, and marketing sales and service. The organization prepares leaders and entrepreneurs for careers and education in marketing, finance, hospitality, management, and other business areas. It is one of ten organizations listed as Career and Technical Student Organizations by the United States Department of Education.

The official logo of DECA is the DECA Diamond. Students often unoffically display this diamond as a hand sign. However, this hand sign was taken from the Roc-A-Fella Records diamond created by rap artist Jay-Z
