International Honor Society in Psychology

The Psi Chi International Honor Society in Psychology was founded at Yale University in 1929. The purpose of the organization is to "encourage, stimulate, and maintain excellence in scholarship of the individual members in all fields, particularly in psychology, and advance the science of psychology." Psi Chi members participate in tutoring, community engagement, social and intellectual gatherings, and professional development workshops. Membership is open to all Psychology majors who meet the academic qualifications. Visit About Psi Chi for more information on membership and its benefits.

Psi Chi is currently inactive for the 2022-2023 school year. Please check back in the Fall 2023 semester for information about joining!

Community Outreach

Our chapter strives to collaborate with and serve the Tacoma community. Some of our events have included partnering with AP Psychology high school classrooms, making blankets for those experiencing housing insecurity, and volunteering to support families at local children's hospitals.

Psi Chi Research Night

One of the missions of Psi Chi is to promote the science of Psychology. Recently, we hosted a symposium and invited Psychology majors to share their research in an informal poster and paper presentation setting.
