O n April 29th, 2022, we had the honor of welcoming a new cohort of students to become members of Beta Gamma Sigma. Beta Gamma Sigma (BGS) is the largest organization in the world to honor business school students and graduates. BGS membership is the highest honor a business student, attending an AACSB accredited institution can achieve. These students have shown an outstanding aptitude for business studies and have demonstrated their work ethic and determination. This recognition ceremony symbolizes the induction into a very exclusive group of top business scholars. Beta Gamma Sigma chapters are only permitted to be established at business institutions who have worked to attain prestigious AACSB accreditation. Currently, just over 845 universities have earned this accreditation. Of that number, over 600 have established a Beta Gamma Sigma chapter. From the pool of Beta Gamma Sigma chapters, only the top 10% of undergraduate students, the top 20% of graduate students and some of the most accomplished business practitioners are eligible to be recognized as a member. The Mission of the International Honor Society Beta Gamma Sigma is to encourage and honor academic achievement in the study of business, to foster personal and professional excellence, to advance the values of the Society, and to serve its lifelong members. • The principles of Beta Gamma Sigma are represented by three Greek words, the initials of which form the name of the Society.
• Beta is the initial letter of the Greek word BEBAEOS (Beb-i-os), which signifies honor
• Gamma is the initial letter of the Greek word GNOSIS (no-sis), which means wisdom
• Sigma is the initial letter of the Greek word SPOUDE (spoo-day), which means earnestness.
In recognition of their accomplishments, the group pledged to honor the principles of the organization and received tokens of appreciation for their hard work. We were honored to have them join as new members.
