History
The Alpha Eta Chapter was established at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill on October 24, 2008. It became one of over fifty active chapters in the U.S.
Gamma Sigma Epsilon was founded in 1919 at Davidson College. The purpose of Gamma Sigma Epsilon, as summed up by one of its founding fathers, Malcolm Ray Doubles, was to "unite those men with a high scholastic grade in Chemistry, in Class A colleges, in order to foster a more comprehensive and cooperative study of that great branch of Science and its immediately allied studies." Its other founders were Manley Arphew Siske and Lewis Porter Good. In 1931 the fraternity went co-ed and became an honor society. Today, there are over fifty active chapters throughout the United States.
