We are happy to announce the beginning of another productive year for Psi Chi. The University of North Texas Chapter of Psi Chi represents the outstanding and innovating representation of the scholarship and academic achievements of its members.
We are honored to invite all students in the field of psychology to participate and interact with fellow peers, faculty and the community. Over the course of the semester we hope to enhance the area of psychology and other related fields at the University of North Texas.
To achieve the honor of being a registered member of the National Honor
Society in Psychology the following requirements must be met:
- Registration for a major or minor in psychology or for a program psychological in nature that is equivalent to such standings.
- Completion of at least nine semester hours of college courses.
- Completion of at least nine semester hours in psychology.
- Must be a second-semester sophomore or transfer student with equivalent hours in psychology
- May apply if you are currently enrolled in the last 3 hours (of 9) required.
- Undergraduates are required to have an overall cumulative GPA of at least 3.00 and an average GPA of at least 3.00 in psychology.
- High standards of personal behavior.
Psi Chi National Membership is open for all undergraduate and graduate students
meeting these requirements, however, if at the current time requirements are
unable to be met we still open our arms to those willing to participate in
regular meetings and activities. Until the requirements are met we are unable
to offer National Membership, however, the experience and knowledge Psi Chi
offers is beneficial to any student in the field of Psychology. Psi Chi is
present for the betterment of the individual and should be an added benefit to
any resume, even if National Membership is not attained.
If good standing is met up to graduation, Psi Chi offers the opportunity to wear honor cords and to receive a Psi Chi diploma seal.
The initial dues of $45 include a $35 lifetime membership fee that is sent to the national office and the chapter’s annual dues of $10. Annual dues are collected in order to cover the administration costs of the organization.
To learn more about becoming a member of Psi Chi or participating in Psi Chi please attend the introductory meeting, which will be announced with flyers posted in Terrill Hall. If you cannot attend the introductory meeting or you have further questions, please feel free to contact any of the officers (please see the Officers page).
We sincerely hope for your participation and attendance in order to better
enhance this year’s University of North Texas Chapter of Psi Chi.
Sincerely,
Psi Chi Chapter Officers
