About Sigma Xi Membership

  • Membership in Sigma Xi is by invitation or nomination. Associate membership requires nomination by one full member. Full membership requires nomination by two full members.
  • Sigma Xi membership is not linked to the possession of any specific education degree.
  • Sigma Xi membership is not contingent upon belonging to some other organization.
  • Students and non-students follow the same review process for Sigma Xi membership.

Membership Categories and Qualifications

  • Full Membership.  An individual who has shown noteworthy achievement as an original investigator in a field of pure or applied science is eligible for election to Full Membership.
    • This noteworthy achievement must be evidenced by publication as the primary author (defined in the manner appropriate to the discipline) on at least two different articles published in a refereed journal, patents, or refereed monographs.
    • Dissertations and theses alone are not considered sufficient for demonstration of this achievement and must be accompanied by at least two other publications.
  • Associate Membership.  An individual who has conducted independent investigation and written a report concerning their research is eligible for election to Associate Membership.
    • This initial research achievement can be in a field of pure or applied science.
    • Associate members may or may not qualify for promotion to Full Membership later, based on qualifications.
    • Associate Members may be promoted to Full Membership once they satisfy the Full Membership qualifications.
      • Promotion review will follow the same procedure as the initial nomination.

How Do I Become a Sigma Xi Member?

If you wish to self-nominate for membership you may contact an officer or current member of the Charlotte Chapter of Sigma Xi to review your qualifications and assist in completing the nomination form. If you have one Sigma Xi nominator, you can either contact an officer or other member to act as a seconder, or you may request that the Sigma Xi Committee on Qualifications on Membership review your application for membership.
