Why Beta Alpha Psi?
Seeds of wisdom from our recruitment chairs
I chose BAP because of the immediate warmth and welcome I received from the very start of my rush process. I admired the closeness the members of BAP had with each other and the family like community I saw at every event. Through BAP, I am continuously pushed to grow both personally and professionally, and I'm incredibly grateful for the supportive, kind, and fun community I've found within BAP.
