We are Chi Epsilon, the Civil Engineering Honor Society.
We are Chi Epsilon, the Civil Engineering Honor Society. Currently, there are 130 Chi Epsilon chapters at major engineering universities throughout the United States. Chi Epsilon was founded at the University of Illinois in 1922. On January 5, 1924, the USC Chi Epsilon became the 4th chapter in the National System.
Chi Epsilon’s National Headquarters is currently located on the campus of the University of Texas at Arlington. The Headquarters office is staffed by Dr. Thomas. M. Petry, the Executive Secretary, assisted by Susan C. Brown, Office Administrator, Sichan Lee, National Office Secretary, and Michele Singleton, Assistant National Editor.
For administration purposes, Chi Epsilon is divided into ten geographic districts. Each district is represented by a District Councilor. The districts are: Central, Cumberland, Great Lakes, Metropolitan, Northeast, North Central, Pacific, Rocky Mountain, Southern and Southwest. USC is in the Pacific District. The Pacific District Conference, or PDC, occurs every November and is a great opportunity to meet students from other universities.
The government of Chi Epsilon is administered by delegates from student chapters and through the National Council. Delegates and the Council meet in Conclave on a biennium basis, always on even-numbered years, to decide on the rules of governance for the biennium. Day-to-day operations are then administered by the Executive Secretary, at the pleasure of the National Council. The National Conclave is always hosted by a member school. The most recent, 43nd, Conclave was hosted by the University of Utah in the spring of 2014. The 44th Conclave is in March 2016 in Boston, MA.
Since 1922, 61 engineers have been declared Chi Epsilon National Honor Members. Two of these 61 came from USC: Samuel B. Morris in 1962, and A.M. Rawn in 1968.
Individual chapters of Chi Epsilon may also grant recognition to outstanding engineers. USC Chi Epsilon has recognized four Chapter Honor Members: Charles W. Lawrence, Clarence W. Cook, Robert M. Fox and most recently Albert Dorman (in spring 2007).
