Psi Chi is the international Honor Society in Psychology. Our San Jose State Psi Chi chapter
provides you with the opportunity to join Psi Chi if you meet certain standards required by Psi Chi and the Association of College Honor Societies (a governing body for college honor societies).
Membership in Psi Chi is an earned honor which is for life. A permanent record of your membership is preserved at the Psi Chi Central Office and may be used for reference purposes such as application for graduate school and jobs.
The SJSU Psi Chi chapter fee is $15.00 (cash or check, checks made out to SJSU Psi Chi) and is due when you submit this application (WAIVED FOR 2021 applications). The Psi Chi Central Office fee is $60.00; you will be asked to pay this online later. These are both one-time fees for lifetime membership.
When you are inducted into Psi Chi, you become an eligible member to wear the Psi Chi honor cord, medallion, jewelry, stole, etc. Copies of Psi Chi’s magazine, Eye on Psi Chi, are sent to each chapter for distribution of members while they are in school. After, graduation members are encouraged to download a PDF (free to all lifetime members) of Eye on Psi Chi, from the website to keep up with news.
Psi Chi members are eligible to present research papers/posters at Psi Chi programs held at Society annual and regional conventions. In addition, members may participate in Psi Chi’s undergraduate and graduate research award and grant programs. Undergraduate members may submit their research for publication in the Psi Chi Journal of Undergraduate Research. The names of members are published on the Psi Chi website and are preserved for historical purposes. To obtain more information about Psi Chi and its benefits, visit our website at
