Founded in
1913 to honor academic achievement in the business disciplines,
Beta Gamma Sigma is an international business honor
fraternity with rigorous membership standards. To be
invited into Beta Gamma Sigma, a student must rank in
the top 7% of his or her class if a junior, the top
10% if a senior and the top 20% if a graduate student.
A nominee must also demonstrate the personal characteristics
exemplified by the organization's name: integrity (Beta),
wisdom (Gamma) and enthusiasm for learning (Sigma).
Invitations to join are kept secret
until a Beta Gamma Sigma representative, dressed in
academic robes, "taps" the inductees in front
of fellow classmates during selected class periods.
Once all the tapping ceremonies are completed, the chapter
hosts an afternoon reception in honor of its newest
members. An evening banquet is held late in the spring
to recognize and honor all new and continuing members.
The Sam Houston
chapter received Honorable Mention for the 2007 Outstanding
Chapter Award. This places our chapter among the
top six of 456 member chapters.
