Membership General
The Georgia Tech Chapter awards membership in Sigma Xi to students, faculty, and post-docs who have distinguished themselves through excellence in scientific research. If you are interested in membership or would like to nominate an outstanding individual for membership, please fill out a nomination form (PDF version/ Word version) and send it along with required additional information to the president of the Georgia Tech Chapter for review. To nominate an individual for membership, or to promote an individual from Associate to Full grade, you must be an active (dues-paid) Full member yourself. (If your dues are not current, you can easily rectify that by visiting Sigma Xi Headquarters.)
