Sigma Beta Delta

at the Seattle Pacific University
School of Business, Government, and Economics

International Honor Society for Business,
Management, and Administration

Sigma Beta Delta is an honor society for students of business, management or administration who are pursuing baccalaureate or graduate degrees. To be eligible for lifetime membership and national recognition, a student must rank in the upper 20 percent of the class. Sigma Beta Delta was founded as a national organization in 1994 under the auspices of Beta Gamma Sigma.
 
With the achievement of AACSB accreditation in 2000, the business school at Seattle Pacific University qualified to charter a chapter of Beta Gamma Sigma, the parent honor society of Sigma Beta Delta, founded in 1913.  The charter class of the SPU chapter of Beta Gamma Sigma was inducted on May 18, 2000.

The principles of the Society include wisdom, honor, and the pursuit of meaningful aspirations. The Society recognizes these three qualities as being important for success in the academic realm as well as providing guidelines which will lead to a fulfilling personal and professional life and a life distinguished by honorable service to humankind.

Undergraduate and graduate students in the School of Business and Economics are selected as candidates for induction into Sigma Beta Delta each Winter quarter. The formal induction ceremony is held during Spring term. SBE faculty members are also inducted as chapter members and are responsible for management of the local chapter.
