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.
