Biology Organizations

Beta Beta Beta - the Biology Honor Society at Xavier

Beta Beta Beta (TriBeta) was founded in 1922 at Oklahoma City University. It is both an honor and a professional society for students of the biological sciences. The society seeks to encourage scholarly attainment in biological sciences by reserving membership to those who achieve superior academic records. It desires to cultivate intellectual interest in the natural sciences and to promote a better appreciation of the value of biological study.

The Sigma Kappa Chapter was chartered at Xavier University on May 1, 1977 through the leadership of Sr. Grace Mary Flickinger, SBS who served as its first advisor. Post-Katrina, the chapter went four semesters without inducting new members. Since 2007, the Sigma Kappa Chapter has reestablished itself. As in the past, new inductees are expected to be outstanding both academically and in service.
