Psi Chi is the National Honor Society in Psychology,
established in 1929. The chapter at Monmouth College has
been active since 1972. Membership is offered to
Psychology majors and minors who meet minimum academic
standards, and the Monmouth College chapter typically holds
inductions of new members each Fall and Spring.
Our Psi Chi chapter has been active in promoting the field of
Psychology, by sponsoring talks on campus, holding Movie Night
discussions of films with psychological themes, and through
fundraising efforts to defray the costs of conference
attendance for students.
Psi Chi
membership comes with many benefits. Besides for being
active in the local chapter events, Psi Chi members can
compete for national and regional research grants and awards,
and can submit their research for publication in Psi Chi's
Journal of Undergraduate Research. Questions about
the Monmouth College chapter of Psi Chi can be directed to
Dr. Larson (chapter
advisor).
Events
In March 2002, we added new
Artwork to our Class Area (you can see the final product in our Facilities
Page).This was all student driven
They really worked hard, and there
was no mess when they were done.
 The psychology
department has new laboratory facilities and Psi Chi held a reception (left) for
new majors to show off the lab area and to meet the new faculty and students.
In March 2001, Psi Chi inducted
its new members.
Because Bill Hastings was not
present to give the traditional reading of Plato's "Myth of the Cave," Jon Grahe
reminded us that we are never sure about truth and that we should be constantly
searching.
Recent Activities:
In October, Psi Chi sponsored a Tye Dye party at
Dr. Grahe's home. They even dyed some of their famous T-Shirts to increase sales.
