Psi Chi
The International Honor Society in Psychology
Psi Chi is the International Honor Society in Psychology, founded in 1929 to encourage excellence in scholarship and advance the science of psychology. Membership is open to graduate psychology students who meet the minimum qualifications.
Psi Chi provides academic recognition to its inductees, and stimulates professional
growth through special programs and fellowships. National and regional conventions
are held annually in conjunction with the psychological associations and research
competitions.
Psi Chi is a member of the Association of College Honor Societies and an affiliate
of the American Psychological Association and the American Psychological Society.
The organization functions as a federation of chapters located at more than 1,000
senior colleges and universities in the United States and Canada, and has a national
office in Chattanooga, Tennessee. A National Council, composed of psychologists and
Psi Chi members elected by the chapters, guides the affairs of the organization and
sets policy with the approval of the chapters. Psi Chi's sister society is Psi Beta,
the national honor society in psychology for community and junior colleges.
