Alpha Chi Sigma is the only national co-educational, professional chemistry fraternity in the United States. We provide the catalyst to form lifelong friendships and connections among those who share a common interest in chemistry and related fields. The fraternity was founded at the University of Wisconsin at Madison in late 1902 by a group of undergraduates who were fellow students in chemistry at that time. The Beta Gamma Chapter of Alpha Chi Sigma was founded on March 30, 1935.

As a professional fraternity with close ties to the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at UCLA, we are able to host many professional functions. Some of these include, but are not limited to:
Hosting the annual Glenn T. Seaborg Banquet and sponsoring the Glenn T. Seaborg Award.
Hosting a scientific research poster session in conjunction with the annual Glenn T. Seaborg Symposium.
Helping with UCLA's annual Bruin Day by giving advice and information to potential UCLA undergraduates.
