What is Psi Chi?

Psi Chi is the National Honor Society in Psychology. It is an academic organization devoted to “the purposes of encouraging, stimulating, and maintaining excellence in scholarship, and advancing the science of psychology.”* Psi Chi is organized into a collection of chapters in over 1,000 colleges and universities in both the United States and Canada. The benefits of membership into Psi Chi are numerous and include national recognition, a sense of community, opportunities for leadership development and student research, and the eligibility for financial aid in the form of awards, grants, and merit-based scholarships. For more information about Psi Chi see their website www.psichi.org.

The Psi Chi chapter at Wheaton College was chartered on May 4, 1987, and is currently advised by Professor Rolf Nelson, Ph.D. and Professor Meg Kirkpatrick, Ph.D. Students may be nominated to join Psi Chi in either their junior or senior year at Wheaton.
