<p>I was just wondering what fraternity I would want to join for my best experience if I'm majoring for a BSA in Accounting.</p>
<p>Looks like from my university, I can join Beta Gamma Sigma, Delta Sigma Pi, Beta Alpha Psi, Sigma Iota Epsilon, and Pi Sigma Epsilon.</p>
<p>I was also wondering if I generally had to live on campus to join a fraternity, or if I could commute.</p>
<p>Fraternities are all about connections. Join one with guys you like hanging out with a reap the benefits their alumni provide you. Excluding fraternities specifically advertising to ag degrees or fine arts degrees, I’ve never seen a fraternity that isn’t halfway made up of business majors. </p>

<p>Beta Gamma Sigma is the honors society for AACSB accredited business programs and is the most prestigious. Its admission standards are the highest. You are chosen for admission based entirely upon your class rank / GPA. If you qualify for membership you should definitely accept as it is the most prestigious of the business honor fraternities.</p>
<p>Beta Alpha Psi is a very well regarded accounting honors society - if you are majoring in accounting you should definitely consider accepting membership if you qualify since it is prestigious within accounting circles. Many qualifying accounting majors are members of both BGS and BAP - BGS is based upon overall academics and BAP has business/accounting components.</p>
<p>Delta Sigma Pi is a well known co-ed professional business fraternity, it has over 200 chapters. At some schools it is very active and membership is desireable. If you don’t qualify for BGS or BAP you should consider joining. Also, sometimes the various chapters of honors fraternities like BGS or BAP are not very active - or only sponsor lectures etc. If so, and if you are not in a social fraternity/sorority, at many campuses DSP may have more social events and other networking opportunities - if this is the case, consider looking into DSP.</p>
<p>Sigma Iota Epsilon is a management honors fraternity. I had never heard of it, it has chapters at some schools but is no where near as large or well known as Beta Gamma Sigma.</p>
<p>Pi Sigma Epsilon is a marketing and sales fraternity. I don’t know why are you looking at a marketing fraternity if you are an accounting major - unless your local chapter is more “open” since it needs members.</p>
<p>As far as living on campus, these fraternities are either honor societies or professional fraternities. I have never heard of these types of fraternities having chapter housing - like what you expect with social fraternities. Membership does not require living “on campus”.</p>
<p>Concerning “best experience” - all experiences are local and will vary school to school. You will need to inquire as to how active the various chapters are. Some are very active others have an annual meeting and that’s it. You can also be as active or inactive as you want. My son was elected to BSG, but has only attended a couple of lectures - but he already has the special honors cords he gets to wear at graduation. He joined simply because of the prestige.</p>
<p>So we’re talking about business fraternities, a whole different species than social fraternities that drink and party and stuff right?</p>
