Fall 2017 BGS Induction Ceremony
The James H. Bearden Induction Ceremony for new members of the ECU Chapter of Beta Gamma Sigma (BGS) was held November 29, 2017, at the Murphy Center at Dowdy-Ficklen Stadium.
The College of Business inducted 64 new members into BGS, the honor society serving business programs accredited by AACSB International – The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business. The BGS tapping ceremonies – the presentation of BGS invitations during class time – took place earlier in Fall 2017.
Several new BGS inductees shared their thoughts on being inducted and their experience at ECU’s College of Business.

Beta Gamma Sigma membership is the highest recognition a business student can achieve. Two times each year, the College of Business inducts eligible students and faculty into Beta Gamma Sigma. Membership is by invitation only and is based upon eligibility criteria, including those who rank in the top 10% of the second-semester sophomore, junior and senior classes as well as the top 20% of graduating graduate students within the College of Business. Before nomination, the entire faculty of the College of Business reviews each candidate to ensure he or she meets the standards of character and integrity that membership represents.
Tina Williams (MGMT) currently serves as faculty advisor and president of ECU’s Beta Gamma Sigma chapter.
