Welcome to the Psi Xi Chapter
Welcome to the Psi Xi Chapter of Beta Beta Beta. This chapter is at Missouri Western State University in St. Joseph, Missouri, and was installed in 1987. Our Chapter faculty advisor is Dr. Melissa Daggett.
The Missouri Western Tri-Beta Chapter and the Missouri Western Biology Club have been merged into one organization. This was done by a vote of the members of both organizations in the spring of 1998.
What is Tri-Beta?
Beta Beta Beta Biological Honor Society has over 370 chapters at
colleges and
universities throughout the United States. Chapters induct new members and plan and
carry out educational, service, and social activities throughout the academic year. The national organization publishes BIOS, a quarterly journal containing undergraduate
research papers, articles for undergraduates, and news and information about society
activities.
