Look no further! Alpha Chi Sigma covers all of your bases. Alpha Chi Sigma is the professional co-ed chemistry fraternity here at Georgia Tech, and it focuses on social, professional, and outreach components. Instead of joining 3 different organizations that focus on 3 different things, why not have it all? 

Join Alpha Chi Sigma and become a part of something much more than just a college club. Become a lifelong member and make connections that you will appreciate and cherish long after you leave college. (Please keep reading for additional details!)

Join us at our Rush Events:

Thursday 9/6

**Chem, Biochem, ChBE, BME, MSE, EAS, PFE, Pre-Med, Pre-Dent, Pre-Pharm, etc. are all welcome, and there will be free food at all events!

Professional: Alpha Chi Sigma isn’t only about having fun though. It is also about developing professional ties and working with professionals in the field. Since many Alpha Chi Sigma brothers graduate and go to work for the biggest companies in the world, you will always have contacts in the business world should you ever need them. Also, many professors are brothers as well, which can help with the planning and applying processes if you decide to go to graduate school. Our professional activities chair also plans events during the semester to strengthen our connection with the professional world.

Outreach: Alpha Chi Sigma brothers love to do outreach events in the local community. Every semester, local Boy Scouts come to campus and we travel to local schools We do demonstrations for the students and Boy Scouts, teaching them fundamental principles of science and wowing them (sometimes with fire!) to help them gain an interest in chemistry.

If you have any questions, feel free to contact Amy Schwartz at aschwartz9@gatech.edu

Hope to see you at rush!
