Alpha Chi
Sigma (AΧΣ), originally
chartered in 1909, is a
professional fraternity for
students majoring in
chemical engineering,
chemistry, and other closely
allied fields. Membership is
by invitation, biennially,
and is open to anyone, from
RHIT, ISU, and SMWC, who
desire a career in some
profession that applies
chemistry.
Its national
membership and the local
well-networked Iota Chapter
strive to promote chemistry
as a science and as a
profession, and aid its
members in their professions
after graduation. Local
professional activities
include presentations by
various speakers from
management, science, and
engineering fields, tours of
local chemical industries,
leadership and mentoring
programs.
AΧΣ is known
for its sponsorship of the
Chemistry on Wheels Program
since 1990. This student
supervised activity is an
outreach program for K-12
students interested in
science, engineering and
mathematics. Collegiate
members also provide
tutoring services for their
peers. |
