UVA's Professional Fraternity in the Chemical Sciences

Welcome to AXE at UVA!

The Alpha Kappa chapter of Alpha Chi Sigma is the one and only co-ed professional chemistry fraternity at UVA! We are a diverse and close-knit group of students from various fields of study and different backgrounds in education united by a passion for chemistry and science.

​We aim to promote an interest in science and chemistry throughout the Charlottesville-UVA community through a variety of service and outreach projects and to create a network of scientists and science enthusiasts, including professors and students, here at UVA. 

Many of our brothers are highly involved in the science departments at UVA as teaching assistants, researchers, and tutors. We work closely with the Chemistry department to create events and opportunities for students to get involved in the sciences.

The purpose of Alpha Chi Sigma is reflected by the Three Objects:

1. To bind its members with a tie of true and lasting friendship.
   
2. To strive for the advancement of chemistry both as a science and as a profession.
   
3. To aid its members by every honorable means in the attainment of their ambitions as chemists throughout their mortal lives.
