This prestigious honor is reserved for students who demonstrate excellence in academic achievement and leadership and who exemplify Beta Gamma Sigma's values of honor, wisdom, and earnestness. To be eligible for membership, the academic ranking of those being considered must place them in the top seven percent of the junior class, top 10 percent of the senior class, or top 20 percent of the graduating MBA class. Some students who earned recognition as an undergraduate received a second recognition as a graduate student.
