National Chemistry Honor Society
General Information
Gamma Sigma Epsilon, a national honorary chemical society, was founded at Davidson College, Davidson, NC on December 19, 1919. The organization now has 22 active chapters in 13 states, and is growing rapidly. Thousands of students have been members of Gamma Sigma Epsilon since its inception. The government of the fraternity is vested in its Conventions, which are held biennially, and in its national officers, who are elected at the Conventions. The national officers currently are:
Dr. Parvathi Murthy, Georgian Court College, Executive President
Dr. Pamela Kerrigan, Manhattan College/Mount St. Vincent, Executive President-Elect
Dr. Eduard Casillas, Villanova University, Recorder (Secretary)
Dr. George Fisher, Barry University, Executive Treasurer

At each convention the National Officers present awards to the chapters which have been the most active, have had the greatest all-around development, and have done the most to develop the welfare of the Fraternity.
