Sigma Beta Delta was created 10 years ago. Sigma Beta Delta was created as a business honor society for institutions with regional accreditation. Today it has more than 248 chapters in 46 states; with one international institution. PNC was granted its chapter in April. Through Sigma Beta Delta; PNC faculty have the ability to grant international recognition for the outstanding academic achievements of students in the College of Business. PNC is the first and only chapter of Sigma Beta Delta International Business Honor Society in Indiana.
The society encourages and recognizes scholarship and accomplishment among students in the College of Business and encourages and promotes aspirations toward personal and professional improvement and a life distinguished by honorable service.
Candidates for bachelor and masters degrees in the College of Business who rank in the upper 20 percent of their class at the time of invitation to membership may be inducted into membership following completion of at least half of the degree program enrolled.
