Omega Chi Epsilon was established for the purpose of bringing together high achieving students with a common interest in chemical engineering. The organization brought these students together in a fraternal organization because it believed that one must learn how to cooperate early in life to be successful later in life.
OXE has five objectives: recognition, investigation, service, comradeship, and professionalism.
Recognition: To recognize excellence in chemical engineering.
Investigation: To promote original investigation and innovation in the various areas of ChE.
Service: To provide service to the Department of Chemical Engineering and to the student body.
Comradeship: To promote comradeship among chemical engineers.
Professionalism: To encourage the development of honesty, integrity and social responsibility, the hallmarks of professional ethics.
