About BUS

Beta Upsilon Sigma Fraternity, Inc. (BUS) is a business organization at the University of Wisconsin – Eau Claire and is the largest organization at the university. It was organized in 1957, and was later incorporated in 1960. As an active business organization, it is composed of students majoring and or minoring in the School of Business, the Department of Economics, Business Education or Health Care Administration. BUS is a close-knit group of enthusiastic and hard-working individuals who work together to enhance the club and their own education.

Members of BUS can join one of the fifteen committees such as Business Affairs, Social, Project, Public Relations, Community Service and numerous others. Positions are also available in BUS’s subsidiary organizations: Investment Board as well as the Executive Board.
