What is Beta Beta Beta?

Beta Beta Beta Biological Honor Society is a society for students, particularly undergraduates. It seeks to encourage scholarly attainment in this field of learning by reserving its regular membership for those who achieve superior academic records and for those who indicate special aptitude for and major interest in the life sciences. 

TriBeta was founded in 1922 at Oklahoma City University and became a national organization in 1925. There are presently 385 chapters in the USA with over 137,000 regular members. Chapters range in size from 10 to 150 members. The national organization of TriBeta granted a charter to install the CU-Colorado Springs chapter, Phi Iota, in 1997.

Besides being an academic honor society, TriBeta is also an active organization which undertakes both community and social activities. TriBeta has three main purposes: to achieve academic excellence, to promote scientific research, and to disseminate knowledge gained by scientific research. To help with this last goal, TriBeta has their own publication, BIOS, in which undergraduates are encouraged to publish their original research.



See you in the fall!
