What is Psi Chi?
Psi Chi is the national honor society for Psychology, founded in 1929 for
the purposes of encouraging, stimulating, and maintaining excellence in
scholarship, and advancing the science of psychology. Psi Chi is a member
of the Association of College Honor Societies and is an affiliate of the
American Psychological Association (APA) and the American Psychological
Society (APS).
To achieve it's goals, the national organization holds national and
regional conventions in conjunction with the psychological associations,
research award competitions, and certificate recognition programs. The
Society also publishes a quarterly magazine, Eye on Psi Chi, which is provided
