General
Students become members by joining the chapter at the school where they are enrolled.
Psi Chi chapters are operated by student officers and faculty advisors. Together they select and
induct the members and carry out the goals of the Society. All chapters register their inductees at the National Office, where
the membership records are preserved for reference purposes. The total number of memberships preserved at the national office
during the first 75 years is over 467,000. Many of these members have gone on to distinguished careers in
psychology.
