Beta Sigma Chapter of Alpha Chi Sigma

Alpha Chi Sigma @ RIT

Alpha Chi Sigma was founded in 1902 at the University of Wisconsin at Madison by a group of undergraduate chemistry students. The founders expressed a set of ideals which have been adopted as the Objects of our Fraternity.

The Three Objects of Alpha Chi Sigma are:

• To bind its members with a tie of true and lasting friendship.
• To strive for the advancement of chemistry both as a science and as a profession.
• To aid its members by every honorable means in the attainment of their ambitions as chemists throughout their mortal lives.

Alpha Chi Sigma is one of a kind, based on the original concept of a fraternity as an academic brotherhood, Alpha Chi Sigma is the only Professional Chemistry Fraternity.

Professional organizations, such as the American Chemical Society and the American Institute of Chemical Engineers, have their place. Social fraternities also offer much to the student, but only a professional fraternity can provide the college student and the professional in chemistry and related fields with the interests and bonds of a fraternity.
