Alpha Chi Sigma

Alpha Beta

Alpha Chi Sigma is a co-ed professional fraternity in chemistry. Membership is open to those studying chemistry, biochemistry, or chemical engineering. Undergraduates, graduate students, and professors may all join.

The Purpose of Alpha Chi Sigma is defined  by its three objectives:

1. 1)To bind its members with a tie of true and lasting friendship.
   

2. 2)To strive for the advancement of chemistry both as a science and as a profession.
   

3. 3)To aid its members by every honorable means in the attainment of their ambitions as chemists throughout their mortal lives.

Our fraternity regularly hosts numerous social and professional events throughout the year. These include but are definitely not limited to movie nights, student-faculty luncheons, and the ever-popular Crawdad Fest. Our members do find "true and lasting friendship" while involved with the fraternity, and the professional activities aid in enriching our appreciation for the chemical sciences.

Alpha Chi Sigma is one of a kind. Following the original concept for a fraternity as an academic organization, we are the only Professional Chemistry Fraternity. We are over 100 years old with over 53,000 members and we bring together men and women pursuing a wide variety of chemistry-related careers.

Our past is quite prestigious, not only are many of our members world-class scientists and engineers, but we sponsor a variety of scholarships and awards. Notable are the ACS Award in Pure Chemistry and the AIChE Award in Chemical Engineering. With our involvement in other chemistry and chemical engineering professional organizations, our members are a sort of bridge between these various organizations

Our organization goes a step further. Actually many steps, as membership is for life. As a Professional member, further opportunities for meeting other members can help with your employment, hiring, and relaxation. Alpha Chi Sigma brings together a unique mix of people. Our Professional members appreciate meeting others involved in chemistry outside of their workplaces and often outside of their field of work.

This is an exciting time to join Alpha Chi Sigma. We're an evolving chapter, and this term we'll be making many positive changes. We invite you to be a part of the rich history of the Alpha Beta chapter and to learn about the "next big thing" in Michigan's chemical science departments!
