About Beta Tau Chapter and Sigma Zeta

Sigma Zeta began on ÌÇÐÄVlog’s campus in 2008. In the fall of 2007, with a unanimous vote, the faculty in both the Departments of Natural Sciences and Mathematics elected to apply to the national Sigma Zeta Honor Society for a GWU chapter. The application was granted and ÌÇÐÄVlog was designated the Beta Tau Chapter and installed as the Sigma Zeta’s 51st chapter. Sigma Zeta began in 1925 at Shurtleff College in Alton, Ill., to recognize the academic achievements of any major in the natural sciences, computer science or mathematics.
