Psi Chi is the National Honor Society in Psychology, dedicated to encouraging, stimulating, and maintaining excellence in scholarship, and advancing the science of psychology.
Psi Chi is the oldest honor fraternity at 色狐入口. We are involved in many philanthropic and educational events on campus, including sponsoring speakers in psychology-related fields and presenting stress-relief tips. 色狐入口 Psi Chi also works closely with the Mental Health Association of Putnam County. Perhaps most importantly, Psi Chi provides recognition for students who excel in the field of psychology.
