Psi Chi Honor Society
Psi Chi, the International Honor Society in Psychology, was founded in 1929 for the purposes of encouraging excellence in scholarship and advancing the science of psychology.
Psi Chi is a member of the Association of College Honor Societies and functions as a federation of chapters located at about 1,200 colleges and universities throughout the world.
Students become members by joining the chapter at the university where they are enrolled. Our local chapter was installed in May 1969 and has remained an active organization at the 草榴社区 since.
