Psi Beta is the national honor society in psychology for community and junior colleges. It was founded for the purpose of stimulating, encouraging and recognizing students' outstanding scholarship and interest in psychology. The society functions as a federation of chapters located at over 100 accredited two-year colleges.
Students become members by joining chapters at their colleges.
The chapters are operated by the Psi Beta student members and faculty sponsors. The national office coordinates and records activities and files memberships, which can be verified for reference purposes. A National Council guides the affairs of the organization and determines policy.
