New
Online Ordering System
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 well as Supply Orders. As you know,
the old New Member system required 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. The old Supply Order system was similar, requiring
faculty advisors to download, fill out and return the Collection
Supply Order Form.
We’re now very excited
to announce the development of the new BGS Online Ordering System,
which will be rolled out and used by chapters as they submit Supply
and Membership orders this spring. This new system should
prove to be much simpler and efficient to use, as all the chapter
functions can be managed from a single, password-protected website.

The
Value of BGS Membership
Beta
Gamma Sigma has always provided valuable benefits to its lifetime
members. However, those joining the Society today are truly fortunate,
as the list of member benefits is longer than ever.
Benefits
that should be particularly valuable are subscriptions to BusinessWeek
and Fortune magazines, and the availability and recent
growth of the BGS CareerCentral job board. As you're speaking to
eligible students, please be sure they know about these and other
valuable member benefits. Letting outstanding students know the
additional value of membership is a great way to increase the rate
of those accepting the invitation to lifetime membership.

Student
Leadership Forum
The
Beta Gamma Sigma Student Leadership Forum continues to make its
mark on participants.
Forum after Forum, participants walk
away from the weekend retreats feeling enlightened, invigorated
and more prepared to assume their roles as the leaders of tomorrow.
Supplementing the lessons taught in
the business classroom, the SLF provides participants with an opportunity
to discover who they are as leaders, what they can do as leaders,
and what they can bring to the business world.

| Who
Are BGS Members?
That
was the question at the core of an online survey conducted in October
2006 by BusinessWeek Research Services on behalf of Beta Gamma Sigma.
The following are a few excerpts from the results:
- BGS members are young (average age
39), hold higher degrees (63% have master’s degree or better),
are highly affluent (average HHI $135,900) and one out of five
BGS members hold the title of senior executive (23%).

BGS Awards
Honor,
Wisdom and Earnestness. These ideals are the very foundation upon
which Beta Gamma Sigma is built. Each year, BGS asks its collegiate
chapters to nominate top business leaders, who not only excel
in business but also personify the Society's core values, to be
recognized with the Medallion for Entrepreneurship and the Business
Achievement Award.

Membership
Fee Increase
As a reminder, Beta Gamma Sigma's Lifetime
Membership Fee has increased from $55 to $65. This fee remains
the only financial requirement for a member's lifetime - once
you become a member, you never have to pay another dime to remain
a lifetime member.
