Historical note

The Iota Sigma Pi is a national honorary society for women in chemistry. The first chapter in the country was started in 1902 at the University of California at Berkeley and Iota Sigma Pi was organized on a nation-wide basis in 1916. Each chapter is named after a chemical element such as nitrogen or palladium. The group's stated objectives are: 1) to promote interest in chemistry among women students; 2) to foster mutual advancement in academic, business, and social life; 3) to stimulate personal accomplishments in chemical fields. Iota Sigma Pi currently has approximately 41 chapters in 22 states and the District of Columbia. It sponsors conferences and meetings, and provides awards and scholarships to women researchers and students in chemistry.

The Garvan Medal Award (given by the American Chemical Society to an outstanding woman chemist) winners, who were also members of Iota Sigma Pi, include the following: Emma Perry Carr (1937); Agnes Fay Morgan (1949); Pauline Berry Mack (1950); Allene R. Jeanes (1956); Ruth Benerito (1970); Mary L. Good (1973); Helen M. Free (1980); Ines Mandl (1983); and Darleane C. Hoffman (1990). National Honorary Members (for life) of Iota Sigma Pi include Marie Sklowdowska Curie (1921); Florence Rena Sabin (1935); Icie Macy Hoobler (1949); Dorothy Crowfoot Hodgkin (1966); Rosalind Franklin (1982-posthumous); and Mildred Cohn (1988).
