About Beta Gamma Sigma
Beta Gamma Sigma was founded as a national organization on February 19, 1913. The first national honour society in business was a merger of three separate societies established to recognize academic achievement in business at the University of Wisconsin, University of Illinois and the University of California.
With collegiate chapters on six continents, Beta Gamma Sigma today is truly an international society that remains dedicated to recognizing the most outstanding students of business and management. The society serves business schools accredited by AACSB International knowing that its membership of more than 725,000 comprises the brightest and best of the world’s business leaders.
