Sigma Xi chapters have been unleashed in the virtual world using Sigma Xi’s newest resource, online chapter communities. 

An online chapter community is an exclusive, customizable collaborative platform that allows members within a chapter to communicate, brainstorm, and strategize chapter matters, 24/7, as well as upload and exchange documents and share event information. For a chapter to promote its events and activities outside of the chapter, there is a portion of the community that can be viewed by the public. 

As of this writing, nearly 40 chapters were setting up their communities. Congratulations to the University of North Carolina–Chapel Hill Chapter and the University of Central Oklahoma Chapter for being the first to launch their chapter communities.
