Psi Chi members

Psi Chi

Psi Chi, the international honor society in psychology, is dedicated to recognizing and promoting excellence in the science and application of psychology. Psi Chi was founded in 1929 and has over 700,000 lifetime members including Albert Bandura, Elizabeth Loftus, B.F. Skinner, Robert Sternberg, and Philip Zimbardo. The organization publishes the Psi Chi Journal of Psychological Research and offers a number of awards and grants to members.

The Stetson Chapter

The Stetson Chapter of Psi Chi was founded in 1957. Under the leadership of faculty sponsor Dr. Camille Tessitore King, we received Model Chapter Awards in both the 2013-14 and the 2014-15 academic years. Only 33 of the 1,100 chapters worldwide are selected to receive this award each year. The award is given to chapters who serve their communities with philanthropic and educational events and show a high level of dedication from their officers, members, and faculty advisor.

Special Events

We sponsor a variety of special events each semester, including guest speakers, and panel discussions about mental health, graduate school, and other topics. Many of our events are co-hosted with other honor societies across campus. At the end of the semester we sometimes offer a "stress-free zone" where students can release their inner child by coloring, popping bubble wrap, or finger painting. And every few years we come up with a cool new design for our Psi Chi t-shirts!
