Alpha, Alpha, Alpha: Gamma Psi Chapter

Tri-Alpha logo

Ocean County College is proud to sponsor Alpha Alpha Alpha, the honor society recognizing the achievements of first-generation students. Our chapter, Gamma Psi is the second county college chapter established in New Jersey.

Unique to Tri-Alpha is its inclusion of students, faculty, and staff for membership.

To qualify for the Tri Alpha Gamma Psi chapter at Ocean County College you will need:

1. To be a first-generation college student
2. To have earned 30 credits
3. To have earned a 3.2 grade point average or higher

*Parent – is understood with inclusive meaning and identifies the person(s) who raised and cared for you.

If you earned a college degree before your birth, adoptive, custodial, or foster parents of more than three years, you meet the qualifications of being a first-generation college student. If you are an emancipated minor or a ward of the court, you are automatically qualified as a first-generation student. We recognize and honor these and other parenting and family relationships.

If your current family structure does not meet any of the qualifications above, please contact, Laura F. Rickards.

Tri Alpha History

Alpha Alpha Alpha, or Tri-Alpha, was founded on March 24, 2018, at Moravian College (now Moravian University) in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. Over 100 members of the Alpha Chapter were initiated that day, including undergraduate students, faculty, staff, alumni, and honorary members. Following the successful induction, the College took steps to incorporate Alpha Alpha Alpha so other chapters could be started on other campuses across the country. Tri-Alpha exists as a not-for-profit (501 (c)3) organization, for the purposes of supporting the activities of the honors society.
