Double Major with ChemE, worth it?

So I want to go into ChemE next year, but I also wanted to double major. I already plan to minor in Environmental Engineering (at least if I go to Rose-Hulman), but I was wondering if it would be any benefit to double major in Mathematics. I almost thought of it as something to fall back on if I decided that ChemE was not for me (which I’m almost positive I will like it anyway). Is there a point in going through the extra classes and such to get a math major? If not, then do you think that it would be beneficial to double major in a subject or just do ChemE? I was almost thinking of double majoring in pure Chemistry also, but I’m not sure. I should also be coming into college as basically a sophomore because of AP Credits.

Thanks for any input.
