The Gamma Beta Phi Society is an honor and service organization for students in colleges and universities in the United States. It is non-secret, non-profit, and co-educational, and membership therein does not exclude a student from membership in any other organization.

The name of the organization is derived from the initial letters of the three Greek words for education, life, and friendship. It signifies that education and friendship constitute the basis of a full and happy life. The motto of Gamma Beta Phi is Progressus per Erditioneum (Progress Through Education), and its watchwords are Scholarship, Service, and Character.

The Three Major Objectives of Gamma Beta Phi

1. To recognize and encourage individual excellence in education

2. To promote the development of leadership ability and character in its members

3. To foster, disseminate, and improve education through appropriate service projects.

Conditions of Membership

Dues:

The yearly chapter dues are $20. This is to be paid to the treasurer at the beginning of the spring semester. Seniors who expect to graduate that spring pay $10 for that semester only.

Points System:

Members are required to accumulate 5 points per semester. One of these can be fulfilled with a passive project that only involves donating items such as toys, canned food, or can tabs. The rest of the points can be fulfilled with meeting attendance and service points through participation in a service project.

First-semester members:

During the first semester in Gamma Beta Phi, new members are required to do an additional new member service project. This project is an opportunity for new members to get to know each other better.

Members are dropped from the organization if they do not pay the required dues or meet their point requirement. Members who do not meet their point requirement in one semester will be placed on probation status; they must earn their regular point requirement, plus 2 additional points, for the following semester to return to good standing.
