Stewart Greg Filip Xi Sigma Pi is the national Forestry Honor Society, chapters of which exist at various forestry schools throughout the United States. The Zeta Chapter was established at OSU in 1921. The officers consist of Forester, Associate Forester, Fiscal Agent, and Forest Ranger, elected at the last regular meeting of the college year to serve for the following year. Examples of Xi Sigma Pi projects include Beaver Open House, tutorial services, and a spring field trip to observe current forest management practices. The aim of this student chapter of the national Forest Products Society is to encourage a spirit of fellowship among forest products students, faculty, and industry personnel, and promote awareness about forest products and forest products issues.
Membership is open to anyone interested in forest products.
Activities include social events, hosting guest speakers, and field trips to local industries and mills. The OSU Forest Recreation Club is an activity-oriented club focused on having fun in the outdoors. Club members participate in outdoor adventures and service projects that give back to the community. Our outdoor activities include dayhikes, mountain biking, rock climbing, spelunking, snow-skiing, snowboarding, and overnight trips. Once a term we clean up our adopted section of highway, and participate in trail maintenance in the McDonald-Dunn Research Forest.
