Sigma Beta Delta
Wisdom, honor and the pursuit of meaningful aspirations. Sigma Beta Delta.
Sigma Beta Delta is the premier international honor society in business, management and administration. Washington College has had a chapter since 1995, the society's second year. The organization recognizes students for their achievements in the classroom and promotes a lifelong dedication to self-improvement and service.
Standards for acceptance into the society are high. Inductees must demonstrate good character, but GPA requirements vary from year to year; to become a member, students must be among the top 20 percent of their class of business majors, as well as the top 20 percent of their class overall.
When it's time to apply for jobs, membership in SBD shows employers that the candidate is a high achiever and hard worker. The society also offers six $500 fellowships annually to help members attain their business degree. In 2004, WC's Kathryn (Fluhr) Carlswald was awarded one of the grants, which she used to finance her senior year of college.
