The Chemistry Department faculty and students working with Gamma Sigma Epsilon National Chemistry Honor Society have established a new chapter at Saint Francis University. The honors organization was established as a fraternity in 1919 at Davidson College by two soldiers returning home from World War I to recognize excellence in chemistry. In 1931, the fraternity became an honors society. Gamma Sigma Epsilon has over 50 chapters in over 20 states with over 13,500 members since its induction. |
