The Society of Physics Students (SPS) is a professional association with international participation, granting membership through college chapters with the only requirement that the student member be interested in physics. All college majors are welcome to join SPS, but the highest representation tends to come from majors in the natural sciences, engineering, and medicine. Within the SPS is housed Sigma Pi Sigma, a nationally recognized scholastic honor society. This unique two-in-one society operates within the American Institute of Physics, an umbrella organization for ten other professional science societies.

—Elaine Heffner (20th century)
“It is hardly to be believed how spiritual reflections when mixed with a little physics can hold people’s attention and give them a livelier idea of God than do the often ill-applied examples of his wrath.”
