Dear Prospective Tri-Beta Member,
You are invited to apply for membership to the Alpha Gamma Chapter of the Tri-Beta National
Biological Honor Society. In the past, the University of Pittsburgh chapter of Tri-Beta has been
involved in various research, service, and social activities. New members plan to continue
sponsoring and participating in an array of fun and enriching activities. Membership also entitles
you to attend and present at regional and national conferences and receive a subscription to the
Tri-Beta journal, BIOS.
Following is an application for membership that can be filled in electronically or printed and
filled in by hand. Completed applications should be printed, signed, and returned to the club
advisor in A230 Langley Hall. The first page requests contact information and general
information about your involvement and interest in activities. This form will be retained by the
Tri-Beta officers. The second page requires you to enter your biology courses and grades. This
form is confidential and will only be used by your advisor to verify eligibility for membership.
Regular Membership requires a major in Biological Sciences, Ecology & Evolution, Molecular
Biology, or Microbiology, completion of at least one upper division Biology course, a 3.0 QPA
in Biology, and payment of $30 national dues.
Associate Membership requires interest in the field of biology and payment of $20 national
dues. Freshmen and sophomores are encouraged to get involved as associate members until they
are eligible for promotion to regular membership.
Promoted Membership requires attainment of all regular membership criteria by an associate
member and payment of $10 national dues.
National dues are one-time only. New officers and members will decide on the requirement of
chapter dues to support organization activities.
We look forward to having you in our Tri-Beta Chapter, and if you have any question just visit
our website at www.tribeta.co.nr and contact the appropriate person.
