Psi Chi, the National Honorary in Psychology
Psi Chi is the National Honor Society in Psychology. Our Psi Chi chapter
provides you with the opportunity to join Psi Chi if you meet certain standards
required by Psi Chi and the Association of College Honor Societies. Psi Chi chapters have the discretion to use
more stringent academic criteria for membership than those required in
the Psi Chi Constitution. As such, our WSU chapter standards are more stringent
than that national standards: 10 credit hours in Psychology and a 3.25
overall and Psychology GPA.
Membership in Psi Chi is an earned honor which is for life. A permanent record
of your membership is preserved at the Psi Chi National Office and may be used
for reference purposes such as applications for graduate school and jobs. The
Psi Chi national membership fee is $35 and the Psi Chi chapter fee, if not
already a member of Psi Cho-Psychology Club, is $15. This one-time fee is for lifetime
membership, a certificate suitable for framing, a membership card and a lapel
pin. There are no annual dues.
When you are inducted into Psi Chi, you become eligible to wear Psi Chi
regalia at graduation and to receive copies of Psi Chi’s magazine, Eye on
Psi Chi. Psi Chi members are eligible to present
research papers/posters at Psi Chi programs held at national and regional
conventions, and members may participate in Psi Chi’s undergraduate and
graduate research award and grant programs. Undergraduate members may submit
their research for publication in the Psi Chi Journal of Undergraduate Research.
The names of new members and activities of chapters are published in Eye on Psi
Chi and are preserved for historical purposes. To obtain more information about
Psi Chi and its benefits, visit our website at
www.psichi.org.
If you are interested in joining Psi Chi, please complete the second page of the
membership
application and the National and Chapter registration card and return it to the Psi
Chi faculty advisors (Dr. Shaw or Dr. Garza). The chapter will then determine if
you are eligible for membership.
Psi Cho, the Weber State
University Psychology Club
If you currently do not meet the chapter standards for membership in Psi Chi but you love Psychology and you want to get involved in fun social activities and stimulating academic events related to Psychology, we hope you will join Psi Cho, the Weber State University Psychology Club. Membership in Psi Cho will give you the opportunity to get involved on campus and in the department and to interact with other students and the faculty in Psychology. Please complete the Psi Cho membership application and return it with your one-time $15 chapter dues to the Psychology Club faculty advisors (Dr. Shaw or Dr. Garza).
