How can I join?

To become a member of AXSigma, one must be a Chemistry, Biochemistry, or Chemical Engineering major with a minimum of fifteen credit hours or be any major and have at least 30 credit hours. Pledges than have a minimum six week pledge period in which they learn more about us and meet the active members. After his or her initiation, he or she gets all the perks of a full-fledged active member.
Rush occurs four to six weeks into each semester, depending upon the academic calendar. We send letters to students who appear to have enthusiasm for chemistry and invite them to an informational meeting at which they can learn more about our organization. If you would like to join and did not receive a letter, please contact our Master Alchemist (President), whose e-mail address is under the members section.

What is pledging like?

Our pledge process is very low-key compared to that of most social fraternities. As students majoring in the sciences ourselves, we understand the time restrictions you may face as you balance both schoolwork and pledging. Our process mainly focuses on weekly meetings and events designed to let you, the pledge, bond with others in your pledge class and help you and the brothers get to know each other better. Past events have included barbecues, paintball tournaments, ice cream socials, and bowling competitions. The pledge meetings are also a time to help you to learn material about our chapter, the fraternity, and alchemy.
