Wilkes University Student Harrison Eckert of Orefield, Pa. Inducted As Associate Member of Tri Beta National Biology Honor Society

2018 Jan 22

Harrison Eckert of Orefield, Pa. was one of 12 Wilkes University students inducted as associate members into the Theta Delta Chapter of the Beta Beta Beta national biological honor society during an induction ceremony held during the fall 2017 semester. Associate members are sophomores and juniors who have completed fewer than 16 biology credits with at least a 3.25 grade point average and a 3.0 overall GPA.

Beta Beta Beta was founded in 1922 at Oklahoma City University by Dr. Frank G. Brooks and his students. The idea of an honor society and professional society for biology students spread and by 1925 the society became a national organization. The Theta Delta Chapter was installed at Wilkes in 2001.
