Beta Gamma Sigma

Beta Gamma Sigma is a business honor society that recognizes the most academically outstanding business students from institutions accredited by AACSB International. USF has been a chapter of Beta Gamma Sigma since 1970. Students who are invited to be members are either in the upper 7 percent of their junior class, the upper 10 percent of their senior class, or the upper 20 percent of their Master's class. There is no service requirement, and the only cost is a one-time lifetime membership fee of $90.00.

Beta Gamma Sigma was founded in 1913 and the membership roster now includes business personnel, executives, directors, CEO's, CFO's and presidents from some of the world's largest companies. Including membership to Beta Gamma Sigma on a resume lets future employers know the level of a student's academic achievement. Other benefits include an on-line community that allows members access to a variety of services, an alumni network, the annual student leadership forum, and the Beta Gamma Sigma Scholarship Program.
