Gamma Beta Phi Honor society...
​is an honor and service organization for students ranking in the top 20% in their college or university in the United States. It is a non-profit, non-secret, and co-educational; and membership therein does not exlude a student from membership in any other organization.
Scholarship, Character, and Service denote the three major objectives of Gamma Beta Phi:
​
- To recognize and encourage individual excellence in education
- To promote the development of leadership ability and charcter in its members
- To foster, disseminate and improve education through appropriate service projects
​Through Gamma Beta Phi the tremendous potential of the most intelligent, highly-motivated and well-intentioned students can be coordinated and directed into beneficial service. The Society’s service aspect is just as important as that of honor. All possible help and encouragement is given to the chapter and its leaders in this regard. Gamma Beta Phi’s major service effort is devoted to projects that foster, disseminate and improve education. Perhaps the greatest appeal of the Society for students is the opportunity to perform community and educational service and at the same time be recognized for academic excellence.
The name of the organization is derived form the initial letterss of three Greek words:
Education
Life
Friendship
A chapter of the Society may be established in any two-year or four-year academic institution identified by the American Association of Collegiate Registrars and Admissions Officers in their handbook for acceptance of academic credit as offering academic credit acceptable for transfer to other two-year and four-year academic institutions.users know a little more about you.​ Each chapter pursues the above objectives by procedures consonant with the local situation and in cooperation with the faculty and administration
