What is the Society of Physics Students anyway?

SPS is a national organization of which UNC chapter is a part. The National SPS website describes it as:
The Society of Physics Students (SPS) is a professional association explicitly designed for students. Membership, through collegiate chapters, is open to anyone interested in physics. The only requirement for membership is that you be interested in physics. Besides physics majors, our members include majors in chemistry, computer science, engineering, geology, mathematics, medicine, and other fields.

Within the SPS, Sigma Pi Sigma, a nationally recognized scholastic honor society, elects members on the basis of outstanding academic achievement. This two-in-one Society operates within the American Institute of Physics (AIP).
There are many excellent benefits to becoming a member of the national SPS however you do not need to be a member of the national SPS to help us out.
