目的
的 贝塔贝塔生物荣誉协会 is a society for students, particularly for undergraduates. It seeks to encourage scholarly attainment in this field of learning by reserving its Regular membership for those who achieve superior academic records and who indicate special aptitude for and major interest in the life sciences. It desires to cultivate intellectual interest in the natural sciences and to promote better appreciation of the value of biological study, and thus welcomes into Associate membership all those students who are interested in biology. Beta Beta Beta also endeavors to extend the boundaries of our knowledge of nature by encouraging new discoveries through scientific investigation, and to this end encourages undergraduate students to begin research work and report their findings in the quarterly journal of the society, BIOS.
自1922年成立以来, Beta Beta已经接受了200多个,000人成为终身会员, and more than 626 chapters have been established throughout the United States and Puerto Rico.
