 | | | | OSU College of Business Receives Beta Gamma Sigma Chapter Award
The Oregon State University collegiate chapter of Beta Gamma Sigma has been recognized as an Exemplary Chapter for its superior level of membership acceptance in the 2003-2004 academic year.
By receiving the Exemplary Chapter award, the Oregon State University Beta Gamma Sigma chapter is being recognized for its high level of success in recruiting top business students into the Society. Each year, collegiate Beta Gamma Sigma chapters extend invitations to the top 7 percent of business juniors, the upper 10 percent of business seniors, and the highest 20 percent of business graduate students. Chapters reporting a 70 percent acceptance rate of invited potential members at both the graduate and undergraduate level, and those chapters indicating an 85 percent acceptance rate at one academic level, are considered to be Exemplary.
With Exemplary Chapter status, the Oregon State University BGS collegiate chapter is now eligible to award a $1,000 Beta Gamma Sigma scholarship in the 2005-2006 academic year. Oregon State University's Beta Gamma Sigma chapter will also receive a certificate commemorating its Exemplary accomplishments. Of the 417 Beta Gamma Sigma chapters currently established on college and university campuses, only 52 were recognized as an Exemplary Chapter in 2004. |
