These varying perspectives help us come together as a chapter to promote community service and leadership in business in addition to finding success in finding enriching internship and postgraduate opportunities.
As a community, we have over 227 active chapters worldwide, and 298,000 lifetime members. Although an incredibly diverse group, we all share the bonds of brotherhood in addition to a desire to excel both professionally in business, and personally as integritous individuals.
