Alpha Beta Gamma (ABG) | What It Is and What Students Should Know
Alpha Beta Gamma (ABG) is an international honor society that traditionally recognizes academic achievement among students enrolled in business, management, and related programs. Chapters are typically affiliated with individual schools, and eligibility criteria can vary by campus.
If you received an invitation, a helpful first step is understanding what it represents at your specific school—how eligibility was determined, whether there is an active local chapter, and what opportunities are offered.

Who Alpha Beta Gamma Is For
Alpha Beta Gamma generally serves students in business-related fields who meet academic eligibility criteria through a participating institution or local chapter. Many chapters operate at community colleges and technical colleges, with some presence at four-year institutions.
How Invitations Typically Work
Invitations to honor societies are often issued through a participating institution or local chapter. Invitations may come via an academic department, chapter advisor, or official outreach. Students can ask which chapter issued the invitation and what criteria were used.
Certification, Affiliation, and What That Means
Some honor societies, including Alpha Beta Gamma, participate in private membership associations such as the Association of College Honor Societies (ACHS). These affiliations indicate organizational membership and alignment with internal standards.
They are not government accreditation, not college or university accreditation, and do not define legitimacy on their own.
