Organizations with Greek letters as their name CAN be fraternities/sororities, but aren't always, as in this case. Phi Beta Kappa is another well-known one.

Ich finde, deine Umschreibung hoert sich gut. Du koenntest noch eine Anmerkung am Ende der biographischen Angaben hinzu fuegen, in der du die Vereinigung kurz erklaerst, damit die deutschen Firmen mehr mit dem Begriff anfangen koennen.

These Greek letters symbolise a fraternity (men) or sorority (women) to which students/graduates belong. A description is: A society for male/female students in a university of college. Not being American, I would not know for sure, but it seems to be an honour to belong to such a fraternity and would be recognisable to US companies as such. In your case, he graduated with a masters degree and was accepted into the Beta Gamma Sigmy fraternity based on his excellent achievements.
