At the risk of starting a flame war, can someone please explain to me why, as a chemistry major, I'm looked down upon my physics majors, and why I'm expected to look down upon the biology majors in the science department. I never understood this stigma on the hierarchy of sciences.

You shouldn't be looked down on by physics majors, nor should you like down on biology majors. If you do, then you are a faggot. Sciences are very interdisciplinary the further you go along. In fact, chemistry and physics blend together when you get into things like thermodynamics and quantum mechanics.
