Beta Gamma Sigma (BGS) is a society accredited by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB) International, which invites outstanding business schools to establish collegiate chapters. Only the top scholars of these programmes are invited to join the BGS. It is not a fraternity, sorority or student club, but an organisation that recognises academic excellence in business studies. The prestigious recognition awarded lifetime membership to elites from more than 525 collegiate chapters in over 20 countries and territories worldwide.

BGS strives to promote the values and principles represented by the Greek letters beta, gamma and sigma - Beta is the first letter of the Greek word bebaeos which signifies Honor; Gamma is for gnosis which means Wisdom; Sigma is the initial letter of spoude which represents earnestness.
