Gamma Beta Phi

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.
