Phi Upsilon Omicron Honor Society, Beta Psi Chapter
About This Club
Phi Upsilon Omicron is a national honor society in family and consumer sciences. We have over 88,000 members across the United States, and over 100 in the Beta Psi Chapter. We are a community service based honor society, meaning our chapter, the Beta Psi Chapter, is and has been very involved with the community in the past. In the past years, we have done several projects with LA Food Bank, Steven's Hope for Children, Foothill Family Shelter, Seeds of Hope, House of Ruth, and the San Felipe Migrant Workers. Phi U also serves the Cal Poly Pomona campus by working closely with several other campus clubs and organizations such as: FN Forum and Food Science Society. We participate in campus wide events such as the Pumpkin Festival and Health Fest. Phi Upsilon Omicron strives for excellence in school and in the community. We welcome those who have the same outlook on life.
