BGS Outstanding Chapters 2008
Over the years, the Outstanding Chapter Award recognized chapters that demonstrated excellence in chapter performance. Since 1995, an additional benefit to receiving an Outstanding Chapter Award was the ability to award an additional Beta Gamma Sigma Scholarship to an outstanding student member from the chapter. Collegiate chapters that complete and return the Survey of Membership Acceptance & Chapter Promotional Activities by the deadline date and indicate an acceptance rate of 85 percent or greater will be considered for the Outstanding Chapter Award.
The Society congratulates its 2008 recipients.
