FAQs

fraternity.
Why should I join Beta Alpha Psi?
First, businesses recruiting accounting majors look for Beta Alpha Psi
members. Fewer than 300 colleges nationally have chapters of Beta Alpha Psi.
(More than 1000 colleges have programs in accounting). Membership serves not
only as a measure of achievement, but also as an expression of interest in the
accounting profession. Second, you can learn things about the field of
accounting which we do not discuss in the classroom. In our meetings, we have
programs presented by professionals working in a wide range of areas which
provide our students with information about the "real world."
