The BGS Alumni Network

The Beta Gamma Sigma Alumni Network was in full swing over the summer, with alumni events being held in major metropolitan areas around the world. 

From networking nights, to sporting events, to speeches from dignitaries, there was something for everyone on the Alumni Network docket over the last few months. 

Among the alumni chapters most brimming with recent activity has been Los Angeles.  Chapter members gathered for two major events in the span of about a month.  For the first, Los Angeles area BGS alumni came together on August 22nd, for the chapter's "Summer Beta Bash." Those attending the mixer were able to meet other BGS members while enjoying free appetizers and a view of the Long Beach marina.

The Los Angeles Area Alumni Chapter followed their successful "Summer Beta Bash" with their Fall Beta Bash” on September 27th.  The festivities, this time being held in Anaheim, included mingling, appetizers and micro-brewed beer.

A good time at the ballpark was on the agenda for those attending the Philadelphia Area Alumni Chapter's "Night at the Phillies."  For just $15 a ticket, BGS members and their friends enjoyed a fun filled evening at the ballpark. Those attending were on hand to see Jon Lieber strike out four on his way to picking up his 12th victory of the season -- a 4 to 3 win over NL East rival, the Washington Nationals.

Also getting their fill of "popcorn and cracker jacks" were members of the San Francisco Area Alumni Chapter.  The chapter's "BGS Day at the SF Giants," brought BGS members, new and old, from around the Bay to see their hometown Giants take on the Chicago Cubs.  While the Giants may have fallen short of the win, it was still a good time had by all.

While the crowd gathering for the Atlanta Area Alumni Chapter's September event may have been a bit more subdued than those in Philadelphia or San Francisco, they were by no means less captivated.  The event, featuring Georgia’s 80th Governor Roy Barnes, focused on the relationship between business and government.  The event was free for all members of the Atlanta Area Alumni chapter, current student BGS members and all faculty members of the Society.

Boston Area Alumni Chapter Scholarship Dinner

Beta Gamma Sigma members were also on hand for the Boston Area Alumni Chapter's 1st Annual Chapter Scholarship Dinner.  The event featured the presentation of the chapter's first scholarship to Kevin Schohl, a senior from Boston College.

On the other side of the globe, the Hong Kong Alumni Chapter gathered its members in September for its kick-off event.  The event was highlighted by a speech by BGS Board of Governors member David Blake, and provided members of the newest BGS Alumni Chapter with the opportunity to connect with the best in business in Hong Kong.
