The Gamma Sigma Chapter of Beta Alpha Psi holds many professional programs during the semester, introducing the members to many of the aspects of the accounting profession. At the programs, members are able to meet and interact with members of the accounting profession. Prior to the national meeting in August 1998, the chapter hosted the Annual Leadership Conference. Twenty UNO accounting students served as group leaders for the approximately 300 student participants from Beta chapters nationwide. During the annual meeting, the chapter was recognized with the President's Award for outstanding attendance at Professional/Technical meetings. Only eight chapters in the nation received this recognition. Beta Alpha Psi members also participate in several community service activities each semester. Past service has included events such as the WYES telethon, Christmas in October, Boo at the Zoo, and Habitat for Humanity. Beta members provide free tutoring to accounting students and host an annual Accounting Lecture Series, presenting a variety of topics geared to professional accountants. Other functions include a "Meet the Firms" party and functions held jointly with other Accounting student organizations. Faculty co-advisors are Dr. Mark Reid and Dr. Ron Young. Chapter Website.

Community service projects include the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance program in cooperation with the Internal Revenue Service, high school mentoring programs, and the Black Professional/Student Career Advancement Day.
