BGS Chapter Anniversaries
As Beta Gamma Sigma plans for
its centennial celebration in 2012-2013, it’s
also important to recognize collegiate chapters
that are celebrating significant anniversaries
in 2010. If your BGS chapter is approaching
a significant anniversary (5th, 10th, 20th,
25th, 50th, etc.), we suggest marking the occasion
with a special event. Celebrating your chapter’s
anniversary is a great way to generate publicity
for your business school, BGS chapter, and your
business program’s top students.
