Chi Beta Phi
National Scientific Honorary
Chi Beta Phi is an interdisciplinary scientific honorary for undergraduates. An affiliate society of The American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) since 1935, the object of this organization is to promote interest in science and to give recognition to scholarly attainment in science.
Due to the current pandemic, Chi Beta Phi has made the difficult decision to cancel the 2020 National Conference.
Advisors have been emailed additional information concerning this decision. We look forward to being able to gather for a National Conference in 2021.
