Beta Alpha Psi

What Beta Alpha Psi does

Beta Alpha Psi Lambda Chapter is the UC Berkeley chapter of an international honors professional business fraternity, established at Berkeley in 1925 under an international organization founded in 1919. The organization serves approximately 40-55 active student members per year, selected through a multi-stage Rush process with a 3.3 GPA minimum, drawn from majors spanning Business Administration, Computer Science, Biology, and Media Studies. Its core programs include a structured recruitment Rush, Coffee Chats networking, Career and Mentor Spotlights, Meet the Firms employer events featuring firms such as Accenture, Bain & Co, BCG, EY Parthenon, Oliver Wyman, and Visa, and an Awards portfolio that documents a strong track record of first-place finishes at Morgan Stanley, Goldman Sachs, Deloitte, Citi, and other top-tier industry case competitions.

In Fall 2021 the chapter launched Lambda Strategy Consulting as an internal consulting arm that provides members with real-world project experience serving enterprise clients across beverage, technology, cosmetics, apparel, food delivery, payments, agriculture, and gaming sectors. The organization claims a 97% historical Haas School of Business acceptance rate for members and an alumni network spanning San Francisco, New York, Hong Kong, Singapore, London, Tokyo, Dubai, Seoul, Bangkok, and Taipei.

The organization operates as a non-profit student-run entity with no commercial revenue model, no membership fees disclosed, and no institutional investment. Governance is handled by elected student officers, with the Fall 2026 leadership team comprising Nicholas Spano (President), Grace Chen (Professional Director, former J.P. Morgan Leveraged Finance Summer Analyst), Alan Fang (Internal Vice President), Sonia Swamy (External Vice President), and Kenway Jiang (Vice President of Finance). There is no proprietary technology platform; the chapter's "products" are programs and events rather than software or commercial services.
