Increasing Membership



  • Utilize the Invitation Booklets and Info Cards to increase awareness and let eligible students learn more about BGS and why they should join if invited.
  • Tap new eligible students in multiple ways: use a meeting platform in addition to emails, use personal contact where safe to do so. Create a promotional video for prospective members.
    • BGS uses the term tapping to describe a chapter’s efforts to notify students/faculty of their eligibility prior to the invitees receiving their official invitation.
  • Have your school’s promotions department sends press releases to hometown news outlets announcing the student’s invitation and induction into Beta Gamma Sigma. A sample press release is available on our website.
  • Host a BGS information session or info booth during freshmen orientation or convocation.
  • Have students who participate in BGS programs write about their experiences and share them with others in person, via social media, etc.
    • Don’t forget to have them tag us!
    • Faculty members send personal notes/emails to their students congratulating them on their invitation to BGS.
    • If possible, offer scholarships and/or subsidize fees and/or graduation regalia costs.
    • Have your dean send a follow up message to eligible students as a reminder of their invitation.
