Psi Chi is the International Honor Society in Psychology. It was founded in 1929 with the hope of engaging students in the field of psychology, fostering academic excellence and advancing the science of psychology.
The name, Psi Chi, represents the Greek words “Psych” and “Cheires”. Psyche, which symbolizes the mind, suggests scholarship and enrichment of our minds. Cheires, which symbolizes hands, stands for fellowship and research. Both of these symbols are placed at the center of the Psi Chi seal, which indicates that scholarship and fellowship are at the center of the Psi Chi mission.
The Saint Joseph’s chapter of Psi Chi seeks to uphold the mission of the greater society by hosting various events that will educate students, provide students with resources and will unite those with a strong interest in the field of psychology.
