Chi Epsilon: Chi Delta Chi

Chi Epsilon, the only National Civil Engineering Honor Society, recognizes the outstanding achievement of the individual student and promotes development of characteristics deemed fundamental to the pursuit of a successful engineering career.

The Virginia Tech chapter is part of an expanding network of 129 chapters formed since the organization was founded at the University of Illinois in 1922. There are currently 96,368 initiated members. The Virginia Tech chapter is the 18th chapter, formed in 1941. Membership into Chi Epsilon is a mark of excellence readily recognized by others, including future employers. It conveys both an honor and an obligation, since chapter duties include completing service projects for the Via Department of Civil & Environmental Engineering and the community.
