Beta Alpha Psi (BAP) selected Missouri State University’s Theta Pi chapter to receive superior status for 2021.  

BAP is an honors organization for students interested in becoming financial information professionals.  

“I am very proud of the BAP members,” said Dr. Julie Ravenscraft, BAP faculty advisor. She noted how hard the organization worked to receive superior status during a difficult year.  

What’s superior status? 

BAP chapters strive to reach one of these achievement levels:  

• Mission-based chapter.  
• Distinguished chapter.
• Superior chapter.  

Chapters receive superior status recognition by exhibiting dedication to BAP and meeting the necessary award requirements. 

By receiving superior status, the Theta Pi chapter will get a financial award and a recognition plaque or plate.  

To obtain superior status, chapters must provide proof of: 

• Beginning-, middle- and end-of-year reports.  
• Initiation.  
• Outreach activities.  
• Professional activities.  
• Service activities.  

About Theta Pi 

Accounting, finance and information technology majors can join the Theta Pi chapter.

“The BAP chapter has an excellent group of student officers leading the organization this year,” Ravenscraft said. “The chapter worked hard to recruit new members and were very successful. It was flexible and adaptable during such a challenging time.”
