To nominate an individual for membership or promotion

To request nomination or promotion

Individuals (including students) who meet the qualifications for associate or full membership and do not know an active full or associate member to nominate that would nominate on their behalf, can fill out the nomination form (links above) to be considered for membership by the Membership Committee.

To reactivate membership

Please complete the following form to reactivate your Sigma Xi membership. Upon completing this form, fees must be paid to Sigma Xi through Ariel Banda.

To transfer membership

Members can update their address and chapter affiliation information and/or to request a change in membership status (from associate member to full member). Because you are the only person who can access your membership record, you will be required to enter your membership ID and last name. The ID number appears on your membership card. If you are changing your chapter affiliation and need to see the chapters in your area, please view the chapter list.
