What is Psi Chi?

Psi Chi is a National honor society for outstanding Psychology students.  Our chapter at Shippensburg University does numerous things to enhance people's knowledge of Psychology.  Organizing social events, participating in and organizing social service events, having regular meetings throughout the semester, planning and participating in Psychology Day, organizing presentations and discussions by guest speakers, and going on group trips to learn more about different psychological fields are just a fews things that Psi Chi does.  Psi Chi members are expected to keep their GPA above the minimum requirement of 3.2 for psychology courses and 3.0 overall.  In order to remain as an active member, all members must also attend at least four events/meetings per semester (at least one of them must be a members' meeting) as well as pay a yearly fee.  By complying with these rules, members are eligible to wear honor cords at graduation.
