What We Do

Service

Members and pledges participate in a plethora of service projects and events in the Madison area and within UW–Madison, donating hundreds of hours in total per semester. Recent examples include writing cards to residents of assisted living centers, peer tutoring fellow accounting students during exam periods, creating school supply kits for children, and collecting non-perishable food items for food pantries.

Professional Meetings

Throughout each semester, members and pledges have the opportunity to participate in four Professional Meetings, each one sponsored by a different firm. After an update from the Board of Directors of the Sigma Chapter, the sponsoring firm presents a pertinent business issue. Afterwards, students get the chance to ask questions to the firm representatives.  Meetings provide an excellent opportunity for students to interact and network with business professionals. Attire is a business professional.

Professional Trips

Members and pledges have the opportunity to participate in trips to visit accounting firms in Chicago, Milwaukee, or Minneapolis. Trips include office visits and other networking events and activities with firms. They also provide an excellent opportunity to get to know other members of Beta Alpha Psi!

Socials

At numerous events throughout each semester, members and pledges are encouraged to interact and have fun outside of a professional context. Recent social events have included golfing at 7-Iron Social, an evening at the Comedy Club on State, a Murder Mystery Night, bowling at Union South, and enjoying ice cream at Memorial Union.

Scholarships

Engaging members of Beta Alpha Psi have an opportunity to be considered for our Beta-Exclusive Scholarship through the School of Business.
