I did a search for this on the forum but didn’t come up with much info. I joined the “Beta Gamma Sigma International Honor Society” while I was in college only because my Academic Counselor urged me to pay the fee and join, insisting that she felt it was worth being a member.
I just began to update my resume in anticipation of completing my CPA licensure, at which time I will be looking to move to a new job. I will have a total of 5 years experience, 3 at a NFP and 2 at a small CPA Firm (audit/bookkeeping).
I have always listed the Beta Gamma membership on my resume ever since college even though I have never been involved with the organization at all (and no interviewer has ever brought it up). Also, I graduated Magna Cum Laude, which I believe is the top 3-5% of my class, while i believe that Beta Gamma is offered to top 7% of class.
I’m not so much looking for experiences with the society, but whether or not including it on my resume (in addition to Magna Cum Laude) would be a waste of space.
Thanks in advance-
