Madeline Bridge Inducted into International Business Honor Society

2014 Jun 4

Saint Joseph's University's Beta Gamma Sigma chapter inducted Lancaster resident Madeline Bridge into its honor society. Saint Joseph's University's student chapter was also recognized with the society's Outstanding Chapter Award.

Beta Gamma Sigma (BGS) is an international honor society for business students. Qualifying for membership is the highest scholastic honor a student in business can attain. To be eligible, students must rank in the upper 10 percent of their junior class, the upper 10 percent of their senior class, or the upper 20 percent of their graduate class.

Students who receive a BGS award must attend colleges and universities accredited by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB). The Haub School of Business at Saint Joseph's earned AACSB accreditation in 2000.

Background: As Philadelphia's Jesuit Catholic University, founded by the Society of Jesus in 1851, Saint Joseph's University provides a rigorous, student-centered education rooted in the liberal arts. With a Phi Beta Kappa chapter in the College of Arts and Sciences and an AACSB-accredited Haub School of Business, Saint Joseph's ranks as a top university in the Northeast. With courses offered on campus and online, SJU prepares its more than 9,000 undergraduate, graduate and doctoral students to lead lives of personal excellence, professional success and engaged citizenship.
