Society of the Sigma Xi
    Society of the Sigma Xi, the Research Society of North America. The objective of the Society is to encourage original investigation in the pure and applied sciences. In general, these include physical sciences, life and agricultural sciences, earth sciences, medical sciences, mathematics and engineering. Any individual who is currently, or was during the preceding year, a student in the institution in which a chapter is located is eligible for election to associate membership if the student has completed at least three years of work toward an undergraduate degree; has shown marked excellence in studies in at least one field of pure or applied science; and has given evidence of an aptitude for research in one of these fields.

Society of Systems & Computer Science (S2CS)
    The Society of Systems and Computer Science was formed in 1990 with the objective of supporting its members in their pursuit of an academic and career success while enrolled at Howard University. The organization's four major goals are to encourage unity and serve as a source of motivation, to advocate academic excellence by offering academic support; to expose members to technological advancements in the field of computer science and to ensure that the student body has a voice in the operation of the Systems and Computer Science department.

Society of Women Engineers (SWE)
    The Society of Women Engineers is a national non-profit, educational, service organization dedicated to making known the need for women engineers and encouraging young women to consider an engineering education. The Howard student section of SWE was chartered in l976. Its specific purposes include providing a support system for women engineers, increasing the understanding of engineering and enhancing professionalism among its members. Other objectives are: to serve as a center of information on women in engineering, to encourage women engineers to attain high levels of educational and professional achievement, to inform young women and the public of the qualifications of women engineers and the opportunities open to them. The Howard Student Section of SWE also plans active outreach programs in the community.
