New Ordering Process
Beta Gamma Sigma has been working for the past year to develop a new, more efficient way to handle New Member Orders – memberships, certificates and keys. As you know, the current system calls for faculty advisors to download the order form from BetaNet, fill out and attach the list of eligible student names, and return the information (by email) to the BGS Central Office.

We’re now very excited to announce the development of the new BGS On-Line Membership Order System, which will be rolled out and used by chapters as they submit chapter (membership) orders this fall.

BusinessWeek and Fortune
One of the best ways to maximize your eligible students' acceptance of the lifetime membership invitation is to let them know about all the valuable membership benefits. Beta Gamma Sigma has worked very hard over the last several years to develop partnerships with product and service providers. These partners offer discounts on everything from car rental to college test prep software; and discounted magazine subscriptions to discounted books online.

Two tremendous values - available only to new student members - are one-year subscriptions to both BusinessWeek and Fortune magazines.

Collegiate Chapter Officer Workshops
Beta Gamma Sigma holds Collegiate Chapter Workshops to help its faculty advisors and other chapter contacts as they prepare for, invite, and induct new members each year. The Society strongly recommends that each chapter send a representative to one of these Workshops every few years, and it's a great idea for new chapters to see how others have succeeded. Tips, tricks and best practices are shared, as Central Office staff members lead a very worthwhile seminar for chapter officers.
