What is Beta Beta Beta?

Beta Beta Beta, http://www.tri-beta.org, is a society for students, particularly undergraduates, who are dedicated to improving the understanding and appreciation of biological study and extending the boundaries of human knowledge through scientific research.  It was founded in 1922 by Dr. Frank G. Brooks for a group of his students at Oklahoma City University.  Since then, there have been more that 430 chapters established around the United States.  Northwestern State University’s local chapter, the Delta Theta Chapter, was founded in 1949.
