Ball State University's chapter of Beta Gamma Sigma has been recognized as a premier chapter for superior level of membership acceptance and promotional activities. 

The national organization, the honor society for AACSB International – The Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business, has recognized Ball State's chapter for its high level of success in recruiting top business students into the society during 2003-04.

Each year, collegiate Beta Gamma Sigma chapters extend invitations to the top seven percent of business juniors, the upper 10 percent of business seniors and the highest 20 percent of business graduate students. Chapters granted premier status have at least 85 percent of their invitations accepted by their top undergraduate and graduate-level students.

In 2003-04, about 91 percent of students invited by the Ball State chapter chose to join Beta Gamma Sigma.

With premier chapter status, Ball State's chapter will be eligible to award a $1,000 Beta Gamma Sigma scholarship for next school year. The chapter is also pre-qualified for consideration as an outstanding chapter, the highest honor attainable by a collegiate chapter, and will receive a certificate recognizing the honor.

Of the 417 Beta Gamma Sigma chapters currently established on college and university campuses, only 62 have been recognized in 2004 as a premier chapter.
