How do I become a member of Beta Alpha Psi?

In order to become an official pledge you must first rush for Beta Alpha Psi. Rush is a series of free events open to all prospective members. From the pool of rushees, we select a group of individuals to undergo our pledging process. The pledging process takes a semester to complete and upon completion, the pledges will be initiated into Beta Alpha Psi.

Three requirements must be met in order to rush for the Alpha Gamma Chapter:

  • You must have a cumulative GPA of 3.5 or higher.
  • You must have declared a major in accountancy, finance or computer information systems.
  • You must have completed at least 24 undergraduate credits* at Baruch College.

*Graduate students- Please refer to the Graduate BAP's page for the requirements.

During any of our rush events, please provide our Vice-President of Membership with the following:

  • Your completed rush application
  • A copy of your unofficial transcript

You may also email your completed application and a copy of your transcript to our Vice-President of Membership at VPmem.bap@gmail.com.

Rushees must complete the following during rush in order to receive an invitation to interview:

  • Attend at least one general interest meeting.
  • Attend at least one rush event (social or community service).

After the interviews, a group of pledges will be selected. A $90 lifetime membership fee must be paid upon becoming an official pledge. Please write your checks out to "Baruch College for Beta Alpha Psi" and arrange to meet up with the Treasurer (Treasurer.bap@gmail.com). You will receive a confirmation email from our Vice-President of Membership after you have met with the Treasurer and paid. If you do not receive a confirmation email, please follow up.

NO APPLICATIONS OR TRANSCRIPTS WILL ROLL OVER.* You will have to complete another application and submit another transcript if you fail to meet the pledge requirements in the semester you become an official pledge. Your membership fee will rollover, however membership fees are NOT REFUNDABLE under any circumstance.
