On the local level, chapter membership facilitates leadership development, interaction with other students who have similar interests, and service to the department and institution sponsoring Psi Chi. Psi Chi encourages student research at the regional and national as well as local levels through undergraduate and graduate research competitions and provides opportunities for students to present research and receive certificates recognizing their accomplishments at regional and national psychological association meetings. Psi Chi sponsors outstanding programs at regional and national psychological association meetings. Members benefit not only from the programs, but also from the opportunity to meet leading psychologists and students from other chapters. Membership in Psi Chi meets one of the requirements for entrance at the GS-7 level in numerous professional and technical occupations in the United States government.
Membership is for life.
