- An Institution must be accredited by its regional accrediting
association and be a baccalaureate degree-granting institution if it is
applying for a chapter. An institution applying for a TriBeta Club must be an
associate degree-granting institution and must have a written agrement from an
active chapter at a four-year college or university consenting to sponsor and
be supportive of the affiliated club.
- Two application forms must be completed. One is sent to the
Secretary-Treasurer of Beta Beta Beta and the other along with a catalogue is
sent to the district director. The addresses are at the bottom of the
application form. The application to the Secretary-Treasurer must be
accompanied by a $300.00 application fee.
- The district director or someone appointed by him will visit the school.
This visit will be both for the purpose of acquainting the school with Beta
Beta Beta’s program and aims and to gain further knowledge about the
school. TriBeta needs to know if a chapter or club will survive at the school
thus the district director will be interested in the size of the department,
number of faculty, number of majors, laboratory space and equipment, library
holdings, plans for the future and administration support of the new chapter or
club. Travel expenses for the district director will be paid by Beta Beta
Beta.
- After the district director has visited the school, he/she will prepare
a written report for the Executive Committee. The Executive Committee meets in
early January and June to consider charter applications. If the application is
approved by the Executive Committee, a vote of the chapters in that district
will be taken.
- Once the application is approved by the chapters, the new chapter or
club may begin arranging for its installation with the Secretary-Treasurer and
the district director or installing officer. Once again the travel expenses of
the installing officer will be paid by TriBeta, but local expenses are paid by
the new chapter or club.
- If you wish to receive an application packet, send an email message to
tribeta@una.edu with your mailing address. In the application packet are
various materials which explain Beta Beta Beta and its aims. We want you to
know beforehand what we are trying to accomplish and what is expected of you as
a chapter or club. Read them carefully, talk it over among yourselves and with
your administration. If you have questions either the district director or the
National Office will be glad to answer them.
