Take Your Chapter to the Next Level

Whether you are hoping to attract more high-achieving students to your business school's BGS chapter, want to work toward achieving a listing on either the Premier or Exemplary Chapter lists, hope to get current and future members more involved or something else, you'll be able to achieve some of these goals by following the current list of "Best Practices," compiled by multiple chapter advisors with "Outstanding Chapter" statuses at their schools and by the BGS Central Office.

A few include:

• List or designate Beta Gamma Sigma members in commencement program
• Provide honor stoles or cords for student/faculty members at commencement
• Announce Beta Gamma Sigma scholarship recipients in School of Business and/or Foundation publications (for qualifying chapters)
• Include article about the Beta Gamma Sigma chapter’s induction (or other activities) in School of Business publications
• Follow-up email notes to those invited to membership and not yet responded; answer questions about membership
• Utilize complete membership invitation packet when inviting students to membership
