The Kansas State University Chapter of Psi Chi, The National Honor Society in Psychology, was established in 1970. The purpose of Psi Chi is to encourage, stimulate, and maintain excellence in scholarship and to advance the science of psychology.
Membership is by invitation.
The national organization established the guideline that membership be limited to those students in the upper 35 percent of their class in general scholarship. Our chapter requires students to earn a 3.2 overall GPA and a 3.2 GPA in their psychology classes. Currently we have approximately 50 members. Our chapter's program is designed to provide members with experiences they might not get in their classes. For example, each fall we go to Topeka State Hospital where we visit a childrens' ward to interact directly with the children.
