Mensa Special Interest Groups (SIGs) are organized around particular topics or interests. Mensans’ interests are as diverse as those who are members of Mensa, and joining SIGs is a great way to meet members. Our first two SIGs, the Gifted Children Study Group and the Mensa Investment Club, were founded on Sept. 13, 1965, and hundreds of others have been established since (from Generational SIGs to Pirates to Beer and all things in between). If you’re interested in it, there’s a SIG for it!
