We invite accounting firms in the public, private, and governmental sectors to attend our professional events to give students valuable insights into the type of responsibilities expected of a successful accountant. We encourage our pledges to take this chance and learn more about the opportunities available at various firms. While there is a strong emphasis in the Lambda Chapter to develop professionalism, we feel that social skills are just as important. Accounting is not merely a number crunching profession. Through our social events, we hope that our pledges will have the chance to improve the necessary social skills so that they will be able to successfully interact with clients, superiors, and colleagues in the professional environment.
Every firm has a unique culture.
Through office tours, pledges will have the chance to discover on their own the culture of each firm by speaking to the employees and observing the working environment. Pledges will then learn the differences among the firms and decide for themselves which firm has the right personality fit. Pledge Presentations One of the essential characteristics of a successful accountant is communication skills. Pledges will have the opportunity to practice such skills by making presentations in front of a large audience. Friendly evaluations from peers will further aid pledges in improving their communication skills.
