Any student may be an Associate Member of BBB, the only requirement is to pay the $35.00 chapter dues. As an Associate Member you may attend meetings, activities, and start earning points.

To be a Full Member of BBB there are several requirements that must be met: 

  • Have completed 3 Biology Courses - Bio 1, Bio 2, and an upper division biology course (e.g. General Genetics, Vertebrate Physiology, etc.)
  • Have a minimum 3.0 GPA
  • Pay $55 National Dues before Spring Induction

NOTE: If you do not meet the requirements to be a Full Member, you may still be an Associate Member, participate in all our activities, and start to earn points towards your Honor Cord until you have the necessary requirements! The only restriction for an Associate Member is they are not allowed to vote on official society business.  

Chapter Dues :
Chapter dues are $33.00 and are paid by all BBB members on an annual basis. By paying the Chapter dues you are an Associate Member of FSU's BBB Sigma Tau Chapter. These monies are deposited into our chapter's account and are used to purchase materials for fundraisers or events hosted by BBB.  Your annual dues also provide a member shirt.

National Dues :
National dues are $55.00 and are paid by all BBB members on a one-time-only basis. These are due before the Annual Spring Induction Ceremony and make you an official member of BBB. These monies are sent to the national office. The funds are used to support national research grants, travel awards to convention, and your lifetime subscription to the BIOS journal after you graduate from University.  As a Full Member, you may vote in officer elections, be elected as an officer, and list BBB on your resume or curriculum vitae.

The current list represents individuals that have paid their chapter dues for the 2023-2024 year.  

 The list below indicates members that have paid their local chapter dues that are due once per year.   You are required to pay National dues for 2024 Inductions, only once a lifetime, and this occurs in the spring semester prior to inductions.  If you are already a National member of the Sigma Tau Chapter, then it is  alternatively listed here.   If you are a graduating senior and need honor cords, that will be noted as well - please let us know if there are errors/corrections ASAP.  We are not sure of your planned graduation so please just let Dr. D know by email if it is this Spring or Summer.  We will send the listing to National around April 17th, 2024 to make sure all have been completed.  Thank you!
