Iota Sigma Pi, the National Honor Society for Women in Chemistry, invites female and non-binary CBC students to apply for membership. Their group includes professional women chemists, teachers, and professors, as well as undergraduate and graduate students in the field of chemistry or allied fields.
Why join Iota Sigma Pi?
- Nationwide Presence: Active chapters across the U.S. offer in-person and virtual programs, including professional talks, field trips, and social gatherings.
- Support & Recognition: Dedicated to advancing women and non-binary individuals in chemistry, with awards for both students and professionals.
- Networking & Mentorship: Connect with members from industry, government, and academia. The group is large enough to constitute a meaningful network, yet small enough for everyone to get to know one another
- Prestigious Legacy: Five members have won Nobel Prizes. Future talks may feature recent Nobel laureates like Carolyn Bertozzi, Jennifer Doudna, and Emmanuelle Charpentier.
To qualify, undergraduate students must be women or non-binary individuals who have completed at least 4 semesters (or equivalent) of chemistry courses and maintain an overall GPA of 3.0 or higher.
Applications are accepted online through Iota Sigma Pi’s website. Video instructions are available here.
