We are a student-run organization whose purpose is to provide a community for like-minded students. The national organization gives us contact with the larger physics community through a network of chapters at more than 650 colleges. If you are interested in physics or astronomy, please join us. You can get information about joining by contacting one of our officers or Dr. Jennifer Poor, chapter advisor, at\u00a0<a href=\"mailto:jpoor@butler.edu\">jpoor@butler.edu<\/a>\u00a0or 317-940-9222.<\/p><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We organize both physics-related and social events. Here area few of the activities we&#8217;ve sponsored in the past:<\/p><ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Movie nights at the planetarium.<\/li><li>Building a Tesla coil.<\/li><li>Trips to graduate school fairs.<\/li><li>Hosting, attending, and presenting research at Zone meetings.<\/li><li>Sponsoring speakers to get exposure to areas of research in physics and astronomy.<\/li><li>Trips to physics facilities such as Fermilab, Argonne National Lab, and the IU Cyclotron.<\/li><\/ul><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Information for Prospective Members<\/h3><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Watch for signs to be posted in and around the Physics Department concerning when we will be having our meetings. Feel free to attend a meeting to see what we&#8217;re about before you officially join. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.spsnational.org\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Society of physics students membership application\">Applications for membership<\/a> can be submitted online\u00a0or a paper application can be sent in. Copies of the application are in the SPS\u00a0kiosk in the physics lounge, Gallahue Hall, Room 228. For more information, contact one of the\u00a0officers\u00a0or the Physics department, Gallahue Hall, Room 241. The national dues of $24 per year entitles you to the monthly magazine\u00a0Physics Today\u00a0and access to the SPS job site among other things.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-vertical is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-2c90304e wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-text-link-blue-medium\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.butler.edu\/arts-sciences\/physics-astronomy\/society-physics-students\/sigma-pi-sigma\/\">Sigma Pi Sigma<\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-text-link-blue-medium\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.butler.edu\/arts-sciences\/physics-astronomy\/society-physics-students\/goals\/\">SPS Chapter Goals<\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-text-link-blue-medium\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.butler.edu\/arts-sciences\/physics-astronomy\/society-physics-students\/bylaws\/\">SPS Chapter Bylaws<\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-text-link-blue-medium\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.butler.edu\/arts-sciences\/physics-astronomy\/society-physics-students\/resources\/\">Resources &#038;
