Alpha Chi Sigma is a co-ed professional chemistry fraternity that strives to promote chemistry and other sciences. Founded in 1902, the fraternity has grown to over 70,000 members and continues to connect students and professionals in chemistry-related fields.
Our chapter, Alpha Beta, was founded in 1916. Since then, we have been committed to professional development, community service, and lifelong brotherhood. Our chapter offers numerous opportunities including coaching at local schools and FEMMES, volunteering at Ronald McDonald House, and coordinating various professional development workshops.
