Sigma Zeta
Sigma Zeta (ΣΖ) is a national honor society founded in 1925 to recognize undergraduate excellence in the natural sciences, computer science, and mathematics. The society's purpose is to encourage and foster the attainment of knowledge in the natural and computer sciences and mathematics.〔("Introduction to the ''Sigma Zeta Handbook''" ), Sigma Zeta. retrieved 2013-11-11〕 ==History== Sigma Zeta was founded in the fall of 1925 at the now defunct Shurtleff College as a local organization to provide recognition for Shurtleff science and mathematics students. Soon after that other local campuses took an interest in the group, and following the approval of the petition by McKendree College to start a chapter in June 1926 Sigma Zeta began its growth into a national collegiate honor society.〔("The History of Sigma Zeta" ), Sigma Zeta. retrieved 2013-11-11〕 In a letter that appeared in the correspondence section of the American Chemical Society ''Journal of Chemical Education'' Sigma Zeta was offered as an alternative for small colleges to the existing Sigma Xi honor society which often passed over small colleges for membership as they focused on larger Universities.〔(R. K. Carrelton. "Correspondence." ) ''Journal of Chemical Education'' 1926, 3 (8), p. 944〕 Sigma Zeta's annual convention has been held every year since 1926 except for 1943, 1944, and 1945 where it was canceled due to World War II.〔("Sigma Zeta Conventions Future and Past" ), Sigma Zeta, retrieved 2013-11-11〕 The first three gatherings were held at the Shurtleff College campus which is now the site of the Southern Illinois University School of Dental Medicine.
