What is TriBeta?

TriBeta (Beta Beta Beta) is a national biological sciences honor society for undergraduate students who are dedicated to improving the understanding and appreciation of biological studies. TriBeta is not only open to those majoring in biological sciences, but also to those who are interested in biology. TriBeta aims to host frequent meetings, participate in community service events, take field trips to biologically relevant activities, and additional biology-related events.
