Beta Gamma Sigma was founded in 1913 in three US Universities: the University of California-Berkley, the University of Illinois and the University of Wisconsin. Its membership is highly exclusive, and it is the highest honour achievable by a business student attending an AACSB accredited institution. It is the largest organisation in the world that honours business school graduates internationally, and members currently reside in over 190 countries.
As both share an emphasis on global networking, Beta Gamma Sigma and AACSB have facilitated connections to foster AACSB’s mission of Engagement, Innovation, and Growth. Beta Gamma Sigma societies are established only at business institutions who have worked to attain prestigious AACSB accreditation, and the LBS chapter is the first in sub-Saharan Africa.
