BGS Gives Back
Centennial Service Initiative

Instead of receiving gifts for its Centennial, the Society hopes for just the opposite: that members offer gifts of time and talent to their communities around the globe.

Imagine the level of charity that could be accomplished if only five percent of Beta Gamma Sigma's members volunteered their time. Now imagine what would happen if that number doubled or tripled. How many hours could be donated? How many
organizations could be served? What impact could be made?

A special online tracking system allows members to login and report their community service hours. The system keeps count of the hours individually contributed, as well as the cumulative hours donated by the entire BGS community.

If you already give back, just let BGS know what you are currently doing in your community. If you don't give back yet, now would be a great time to start! Consider setting a goal for yourself, like giving 100 hours to honor the 100 years of your Society.

Whatever the service, BGS hopes its members engage in activities that utilize their skills and celebrate the Society's Centennial through the spirit of service.
BGS Is Everywhere



Centennial Photo Contest

As a truly international honor society, Beta Gamma Sigma members are found around the world. To capture this in pictures, members are encouraged to send photos of themselves taken with an exclusive Centennial icon. This icon is a stuffed "wise owl" named after the very first president of Beta Gamma Sigma, Professor Elwell.

Members can download a printable version of Professor Elwell (the stuffed owl) or order an owl of their own from the BGS Store. Members can upload their photos to Beta Gamma Sigma and share
them with the rest of the Society.
