Alpha Chi Sigma is a national co-ed professional chemistry fraternity founded in 1902.  Membership with the local chapter benefits students not only by helping with their studies but also by providing projects and activities that teach the roles of leadership and management. We provide an opportunity to create lifelong friendships with others interested in chemistry.
The Chemistry Undergraduate Student Lounge in Dabney Hall (315) was made possible through contributions from AXΣ and the Department of Chemistry. The lounge is a place for all undergraduates to study and relax – check it out!

The American Chemical Society (ACS) has provided more than a century of service to the science and profession of chemistry, taking a special interest in the development of chemical sciences, in the role of the chemistry professional, in chemical education, in public affairs and in the formulation of government policy.

The Student Affiliate Chapter at NC State is a means by which students can become involved in this national organization. Activities include tours of nearby research facilities at the Research Triangle Park, trips to national and regional conferences, a student/faculty mixer, and presentations by guest speakers covering a variety of possible fields of study and careers in chemistry or chemistry-related occupations. Other group activities include picnics, outings and community service projects.

Membership is voluntary and offered to all undergraduates in chemistry or chemistry-related disciplines. Meetings are on the third Monday of each month during the academic year at 5:00 p.m. in Dabney 210.

For information on joining, please contact Dr. Kirsten Kramer, or just come to a meeting. Look for the flyers and other ACS information on the bulletin board opposite the elevator on the first floor of Dabney.

Formerly known as the Society of Future Cosmetic Industry Professionals, the Cosmetic Chemistry Club at NC State University is the only student organization on campus for students interested in learning about cosmetics and the industry behind them. Although we are a chemistry-based club, we are open to students of all majors. We aim to offer opportunities for learning from one another through informal presentations at meetings on various subjects. Additionally, we provide opportunities for further development by consulting professional resources, attending company visits, and hosting guest speakers. This is a great way to meet other students and build your knowledge of cosmetics and personal care in a fun, collaborative setting while also helping prepare for a potential career in the cosmetic industry.

The Mentoring Undergraduates Program (MentorUP) provides a mentorship network for incoming chemistry undergraduate students to assist them as they transition to life at NC State. Mentors will engage with, and share resources and advice with incoming undergraduates in order to increase the retention of students in the field.
