Lambda ChapterUtah State University |
Xi Sigma Pi was founded in 1908 at the University of Washington as an honor society meant to recognize excellence among students of traditional forest management. The Lambda Chapter of Utah State University, formed in 1939, has expanded its view of forest management to recognize fields such as fisheries and wildlife management, and outdoor recreation as integral parts. In keeping with the stated national goals of the society, the Lambda Chapter seeks both to recognize and encourage academic excellence among students of the College of Forestry and Wildlife Resources.
All juniors and seniors in the College with a GPA of 3.0 or above are invited to join Xi Sigma Pi. After a short initiation period, new members are free to participate in any of Xi Sigma Pi's activities, most of which provide services to the College. Members participate in and represent the College of Natural Resources at college and University sponsored functions.

Wood Tree Examples
| In order to be initiated you must construct a tree in the shape of a conifer from wood and have all the current members of Xi Sigma Pi sign it. (Current members are listed on the CNR web page under Xi Sigma Pi ). The fir tree symbolizes vigorous life typical of youth and the general study of natural resources. Here are a couple of examples of "trees". | ||

3. He must be loyal to his profession, to his fellows, to those who give him orders, and to those
whom he directs.

his own decisions and formulate his own plans.
