What is Gamma Beta Phi?
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;
membership does not exclude a student from
membership in other organizations.
Gamma is the initial letter of the Greek work meaning education;
Beta is the initial letter of the word meaning life;
Phi is the initial letter of the word friendship. Thus the three
letters designating
the name of the organization signify that education and
friendship
constitute the basis of a full and happy life. |

The motto of The Gamma Beta Phi Society is "Progresses per
Eruditionem."
Its watchwords are "Scholarship," "Service," and
"Character," and its colors are "Gold" and "Ebony."
Students must complete the requisite
number of service hours and complete a student development
transcript verification form by the deadline. Active
membership in GBP is posted to the student development
transcript. Active members receive a diploma seal upon
graduation.
