Tonight was the annual Beta Alpha Psi Spring Initiation Banquet. "What is BAP," you ask? Straight from Wikipedia... BAP is a national honors business organization for highly successful accounting, finance and information systems students and professionals. That's my J... "highly successful!" :) The organization has over 300,000 members worldwide. Famous BAP alum include Mr. Arthur E. Anderson, founder of the accounting firm Arthur Anderson. At one point, Arthur Anderson was one of the "big 5" accounting firms among PricewaterhouseCoopers, Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu, Ernst & Young and KPMG. It all went downhill in 2002 when Arthur Anderson surrendered its license to practice in the U.S. after being found guilty of criminal charges relating to the firm's handling of the auditing of Enron. Hmm, maybe that's not the best example of distinguished alum. How about Mr. T. Coleman Andrews? A good ol' boy from Virginia, former IRS commissioner and a 1956 U.S. presidential candidate. Not too shabby for a life's work. So... getting back to the banquet... we socialized with fellow BAP initiates/members, ate dinner catered by Portobello and listened as the 2011 officers welcomed the 2012 officers. A big congratulations to J and all the other new BAP members for maintaining their GPA and completeing the professional and community service hours! Way to go y'all! A few photos from our evening...
J & his (temporary) BAP certificate. The real
certificate will arrive in the mail this summer.
