Students Inducted into TriBeta Honor Society

Elmira, NY (01/29/2019) — The Eta Sigma Chapter of Beta Beta Beta National Biological Honor Society held student inductions on Saturday, January 26. There were 10 inductees, all of whom met the requirements for membership.

Beta Beta Beta (TriBeta) has three major objectives: to promote scholarship in the biological sciences; to promote the dissemination of biological knowledge; and to encourage research.

There are two symbols of the honor society, the key and coat of arms. The key represents wisdom as well as life on and in the ground, in the air, and in the water, while the coat of arms represents known and unknown scientific truths. The Society's motto is Blay'-pay-een Bah'-seen Bee'oo, meaning "to see the foundation of life."

Beta Beta Beta was founded in 1922 by Dr. Frank G. Brooks, and the Elmira College Eta Sigma Chapter was founded in 1960.
