Association is by invitation only for business students who have met explicit academic qualifications defined by the society’s Articles of Incorporation combined with chapter requirements relating to active leadership and/or service-learning. WT has been recognized by Beta Gamma Sigma for four consecutive years as a Highest Honor Chapter. 

Dr. Kelly McCauley, assistant professor and Engler Professor of Management, serves as the chapter advisor. Student officers are Sara Koepp, president, Marc Ferrell, vice president, Eric Mesa, secretary, and Karlandria Edwards, treasurer. Dr. Nick Gerlich, Hickman Professor of Marketing, is the 2019 keynote induction speaker.

Dr. Neil Terry, dean of the Engler College of Business, is one of 14 deans from leading business schools around the world currently serving on the Beta Gamma Sigma Board of Governors. Dr. Marielle Heijltjes, Professor of Management at the University of Maastricht, is the current Beta Gamma Sigma Board Chair.
