About Us
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; and, membership therein does not exclude a student from membership in any other organization.

The motto of Gamma Beta Phi is Progressus per Eruditioneum (progress through education).
