  • Have completed, or be currently enrolled in, Chem 14B or 20B or the equivalent.
  • Plan to have a career in a chemistry-related field.
  • Attend the Pinning Ceremony and pay the pledge fee.
  • Learn the Fraternity and Chapter histories.
  • Attend a weekly pledge meeting.
  • Visit the Alpha Chi Sigma Lounge regularly to meet active members.
  • Make an axe and get signatures from members.
  • Plan and present a 5-minute talk on an aspect of Chemistry.
  • Pay the Lifetime Membership Fee.
  • Attend 'Research Day'.

We accept pledges for the Fall or Spring quarters. The process is a full quarter commitment, and should be taken seriously. However, we also plan plenty of social activities so you can get to know everyone and have fun!
