You may remain a Pledge for a maximum of two semesters if you remain active in the chapter. After this time period, you must have satisfied all the requirements for membership and be initiated or you will be dropped as a Pledge. You will also cease to be classified as a Pledge when you no longer have a declared area of concentration in accounting, finance, MIS, or business analytics.
Become an Affiliate!
Affiliates is a way to be involved within the Beta Alpha Psi organization if you do not meet all of the requirements to be a full member. This is often for those freshman and sophomores who don't have the upper level course requirements. As an affiliate member you will still be able to attend most meetings, social events, and service events open to members. This is a great way to start off your involvement with BAP!
How Affiliates Differ from Members
- There is a $25 fee per year or $15 per semester
- You will not be able to attend the Platinum Sponsor Event or banquet
- They will not receive a cord or stole at graduation
