Again, if you have been waiting to join our Beta Psi Chapter, or you meet the criteria to join and wish to know more, please email our Initiation Chairs, Kaeli and Xandra at [email protected].
Applicants will need to provide a hard copy of your unofficial transcript in a sealed envelope to the Human Foods and Nutrition Sciences department in building 7-110, in order to show proof of eligibility.
Please write your name and contact email on the envelope so the Initiation Chairs can contact you after the HNFS department reviews your unofficial transcript. Again, please submit your unofficial transcripts as soon as possible; do not wait until the deadline on December 2nd, 2016. This information will be reviewed only by the department faculty following FERPA guidelines and used to assess if you meet the GPA, major, and quarter requirements. Although we are happy to initiate all who are eligible, if you know you do not meet the requirements please refrain from submitting transcripts to the office so they can manage their time doing other important duties. |
