Xi Sigma Pi is the forestry honor society, founded 100 years ago in Washington state. The University of Minnesota's Delta Chapter was one of the first Xi Sigma Pi chapters established. The objectives of the Society are to secure and maintain a high standard of scholarship in forest resources management education, work for the improvement of the forest resources management profession, and promote a fraternal spirit among those engaged in activities related to the forest resources.
