Biology students take pride in their academic achievements, conducting original research that is at the frontier of science. They also make time to build personal and professional connections that will last a lifetime. From bowling nights to community service events, students create a community that exists beyond the classroom and the laboratory.

Beta Beta Beta (Tri-Beta)

Beta Beta Beta (Tri-Beta) is a biological honor society for students, particularly undergraduates, dedicated to improving the understanding and appreciation of biology and extending boundaries of human knowledge through scientific research. The Omicron chapter of Beta Beta Beta, the national biology honor society, was established at Pacific in 1931. One of the oldest and most active honor societies on campus, Tri-Beta regularly provides its members with professional networking opportunities, academic development, and social engagement.  Read more about the chapter's activities, and standards for membership >>

Joining Tri-Beta is a great way to interact with Pacific faculty and other professionals as well.

Members enjoy fun activities like game days, car washes, volleyball tournaments, parties, field trips, bowl-a-thons and much more.

Tri-Beta members typically represent future doctors, teachers, pharmacists, biomedical researchers, dentists (and friends) dedicated to being a part of the scientific community and making the most of their college experience while they prepare for professional careers.
