The Alpha Beta Gamma Business Honors Society is a selective group or exclusively business majors.
“Students must keep their GPA at 3.0 or higher with 15 credited hours within the school,” said club president Alicia Hatch. ABG is also connected to the Chamber of Commerce which means that members can go to different networking expos.
The induction process includes lunch with a guest speaker, certificates and pins being handed out, and each new member must recite a quote. According to Hatch, members will always have a connection to ABG, even after they graduate. Past, present, and future members are always invited to events held by the group.
Some of the business-type majors that make a student eligible for ABG include Business Administration, Business Economics, Business Journalism, Business Management, and Business Statistics.
ABG hosts most of their dinners and events for members at outside venues so they can have more freedom for planning. Certain events, like bake sales, are held on campus. They have annual fundraisers to award scholarships to club members and to give back to the school.
Member benefits include discounts on car rentals and exchanging ideas at local chapter functions and at Annual Leadership Conferences. Scholarships for individual four-year degree students can get up to over $500,000.
There are also benefits to the community, including inviting people from local businesses to speak to the students about the business world and the best ways to succeed.
ABG meets every other week on Tuesdays from 12:30-1:30 in room 253 in the main building.
