Sales and Inductions Specialist (Part-Time Student Position) The Gamma Beta Phi Society National Headquarters 5204 Kingston Pike Suite 31-33. Knoxville, TN 37919 Application Deadline: Wednesday, December 6th, 12:00 pm (noon) About The Gamma Beta Phi Society: The Gamma Beta Phi Society is a national honor and service organization for college students. Our watchwords are service, scholarship, and character. We aim to broaden our members’ academic and philanthropic lives so that they may graduate ready to make a difference in the world. Gamma Beta Phi has chapters at community colleges, liberal arts institutions, and private/public research institutions across America. It regularly inducts thousands of academically successful students each year who share its mission of promoting education and service. The Society’s emphasis on post-induction community service distinguishes it from the vast majority of collegiate honor societies and scholastic associations. Furthermore, the one-time national fee of $60 serves as one of the lowest in the entire nation for collegiate honor societies. Although each chapter spends time focusing on the needs of their local community, the Society continues to leave a long-lasting impact on the nation through our annual/national service project. In recent years, The Gamma Beta Phi Society has collected thousands of books for St. Jude Children’s Hospital, sent six thousand pairs of shoes to the citizens of Iraq, collected thousands of hats for the Heavenly Hats Foundation, sent letters to the service men and woman onboard the USS Kitty Hawk, and bought an Ark for Heifer International. The current national project, The Little Free Libraries, focuses on nation-wide literacy and access by collecting thousands of books and financial resources for neighborhoods that lack public libraries.
