Sigma Xi

Sigma Xi is the world’s largest general research honor society and was founded in 1886 to honor excellence in scientific investigation and encourage a sense of companionship and cooperating among researchers. Sigma Xi is an international, multidisciplinary organization for research scientists and engineers. Sigma Xi has 530 chapters around the world including chapters at universities and colleges, government laboratories and commercial research centers.

USF launched its new chapter in 2018, as faculty who have been members of Sigma Xi signed the new charter and inducted 52 USF graduate and undergraduate students as new members. The USF Sigma Xi Chapter is committed to provide ways to share ideas and perspectives within the cross-disciplinary community of Sigma Xi through events and activities. In 2021, the USF Chapter was recognized with a Sigma Xi Chapter of Excellence Award for distinguished performance.
