Sigma Xi (Xi is pronounced with a "Z" sound-"Zi"-as in "xylophone") was founded in 1886 to honor excellence in scientific investigation and encourage a sense of companionship and cooperation among researchers in all fields of science and engineering. The Greek letters "sigma" and "xi" form the acronym of the Society's motto, "Spoudon Xynones," which translates as "Companions in Zealous Research." This year the society is celebrating 125 years of service and networking among scientists. The chapter was chartered July 1, 1973—a year after the University was founded. Rush University is commemorating its 40th anniversary during the 2011 - 12 academic year. Former Sigma Xi presidents include: Dr. Thomas F. Lint Dr. Mark E. Peeples Dr. Juergen A. Mollenhaur Dr. James Michael Kerns Dr. Thomas Michael Schmid Dr. Hazel Lum Dr. Gabriella Cs-Szabo Dr. Arthur V. Prancan Dr. Mary Beth Newman Dr. Alejandro A.
