Last week, on September 7th, I attended a general interest meeting for the business frat Beta Alpha Psi. When I first heard about the meeting, I was unsure what to expect, as I knew nothing about business frats. I had no intention of joining any frats, but ended up tagging along to some of my friends that were going to the meeting. I was slightly nervous during the elevator ride up. I was planning sitting through the meeting just to get my assignment over with, slightly irritated that I was wasting my precious time between classes going to a meeting instead of doing something more meaningful with my time. When I went to the meeting, I was taken aback. The meeting was very well organized, and the members were very professional and informative. It lasted for around an hour. Food was given out to all of the interested students as well. I expected to be bored throughout the entire meeting, but I was impressed by how the members of Beta Alpha Psi were so passionate about the frat. Even though Beta Alpha Psi is a business frat, they host social events on top of business-related events. The members were all very friendly and I learned a lot about how a joining a business frat can help me prepare for the future. Many of the frat members interned for well known companies, such as JP Morgan & Goldman Sachs. Members of Beta Alpha Psi treat each other like a second family, they help each other prepare for business-related things like career interviews, and even school problems, such as homework. Although I’m not interested in applying for the frat or going to any future meetings, going to this event was definitely a great experience. Learning more about what a business frat is really about is something I don’t regret!
