Student Groups
Whether you’re studying biology, health science, exercise science or something entirely different, the student groups within the Department of Math & Science offer a chance for you to get involved on campus and meet other students who share your interests.
Mu Sigma Chi: Mu Sigma Chi is Brenau’s math and science club. Mu Sigma Chi’s mission is to promote and generate interest in the many aspects of science and seek enrichment in those fields. As a member, you’ll be able to meet with fellow math and science enthusiasts to discuss relevant topics, receive a mentor within their field, complete service projects within the community, and organize events for Pi Day, Mole Day, and Earth Day. Mu Sigma Chi holds member meetings regularly, so students have plenty of opportunity to network and discuss common interests.

Brenau University Garden Society: The Brenau University Garden Society, also known as BUGS, gives you the opportunity to learn gardening skills and techniques from Hall County Master Gardeners, and grow a wide range of plants in the university garden and greenhouse. Most of the fruits and vegetables harvested in the garden are donated to local shelters for people in need. BUGS members also take group outings to local farms, gardens and hiking trails.
