TriBeta Levels of Involvement
Unlike many other groups, we offer several levels of participation, depending on how much time and effort you want to devote to our pursuit of biological enlightenment.
Biology Club:
This level is for those who have not yet completed biology classes in college but are planning to take them in the future or just interested in learning more about biology. There are no fees required, we just ask that you attend at least one event per quarter. Please follow our Facebook page for more information about events and opportunities.
Associate Member:
At this level of involvement, you can be of any major and may attend the majority of club meetings and activities. It is encouraged that you take advantage of becoming an Associate Member if you are still working on the fulfillment of Full Membership course requirements. The fee for Associate Membership is $40 and will count towards Full Membership fee if you choose to join as a Full Member in the future. Associate membership expires upon graduation. At this level of involvement you may vote and serve as an officer
Full Member:
A Full Member must complete both a curriculum and GPA requirement. In order to be inducted as a Full Member, you must have taken 2 introductory biology courses (Either BIOL 161/162 or BIOL 180/200) AND one additional biology course. This third course may be BIOL 203, BIOL 220, or an upper division biology-related course (eg. MICRO 410, GENOME 371 or 372, etc.). Additionally, a Full Member must maintain an average minimum GPA of 3.0 in all biology courses.There is a one-time $50 membership fee associated with this level of membership. Full membership is a lifetime membership and continues after graduation.

Active Membership
Requirements: You must attend one event per quarter. This includes, but is not limited to, member meetings, seminars, and other special events. Study night will not count as your event for this requirement. If you cannot make it to any events, please contact one of the officers and we can arrange for another way to help you meet this requirement such as helping out with t-shirt sales or tutoring.
As a result of maintaining active membership every quarter you are affiliated with TriBeta, beginning when you receive your acceptance, you will receive an honors cord when you graduate.
