• D. To limit membership to alumni only.

Answer: (A)

The general purpose of Beta Psi Omega is to establish and govern the organization, promote fellowship, leadership, service, and scholarship, and provide a framework for membership, governance, and ritual. This captures the broad role of the group: it isn’t just about activities or one narrow function, but about creating the organization itself, guiding its leadership and governance, fostering values like fellowship, service, and scholarship, and defining how members join and participate in rituals. The other options fall short because they focus on only one aspect (like social events) or misstate the organization’s role (regulating university external affairs or limiting membership to alumni).
