Members of the Gamma Beta Phi Society honor and service organization at the Uni versity of Houston-Victoria donated $400 to the Victoria County United Way. Students in Victoria, Sugar Land and Cinco Ranch pitched in to contribute to the organi zation in increments ranging from $10 to $50, organization member Kristen Lindley said.

Students donated money throughout the months of October and November. “In order to stay in Gamma Beta Phi, you have to make a commitment back to the community in the form of service,” president John White said.

The United Way donation drive is one of several charities in the community that the members have supported throughout the school year.

To be eligible for Gamma Beta Phi, stu dents must be enrolled in a UHV degree program, have completed at least 12 credit hours of course work with a grade-point av erage of 3.5 or higher, and be committed to excellence in education, good character and service. Membership is by invitation only. About 100 students belong to the UHV chapter of the organization.
