What do I have to do to become inducted?
The average amount of time it takes to complete the Steps to Induction is approximately nine hours. While most members do finish in a single semester, you may take longer if needed as long as you finish prior to graduating.
Is this recognized on campus?
We are a registered student organization. We can apply for Campus Activity Funding (CAB) for events and development.
What is the meaning of Sigma Alpha Pi?
Sigma Alpha Pi are the Greek letters that the NSLS uses to represent itself. Sigma Alpha Pi stands for Success, Action, and Purpose — Success coming from continual Action toward one’s Purpose — all of which are the core of the NSLS identity.
