Rho Chi (ΡΧ) is an international honor society for pharmaceutical sciences. It was founded in May, 1922, to "encourage high scholastic achievement and fellowship among students in pharmacy and to promote the pharmaceutical sciences". ==History== The organization evolved from the Aristolochite Society which had been established at the University of Michigan as a local honor society in 1908. Discussion of national expansion began in 1917, met with urging at that same time from pharmacy faculty, which resulted in a second chapter of Aristolochite being established in 1919 at what is now Oregon State University, and a third at the University of Oklahoma. The Society adopted the name "Rho Chi Society" that year, with the grant of a charter from the State of Michigan.〔〔(Rho Chi Bylaws and History ), from the ΡΧ National Website, accessed 11 June 2014〕 The society grew slowly at first, with eight chapters by 1927, and ten more over the next five years. Expansion continued more rapidly, resulting in a chapter count of 110 as of 2014.〔 Rho Chi Society was admitted to membership in the Association of College Honor Societies in 1947.〔 Government is by convention, held annually in conjunction with the meeting of the American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy.〔 The 1991 edition of Baird's Manual noted the Society had 46,500 initiates.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Rho Chi」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
