Sigma Beta Delta
Membership in Sigma Beta Delta is the highest national recognition a business student can
receive at the University or a university with a Sigma Beta Delta chapter. To be eligible for
membership, a business student must rank in the upper 20 percent of the junior, senior, or

personal and professional improvement and a life distinguished by honorable service to
humankind.
