How can I become more involved?

• Just ask! There are multiple committees with different roles and we appreciate initiative. Email psichi@pdx.edu with inquiries.

Can I attend events even if I'm not a member?

• Yes! We want to benefit our student body, even if you're not a member of Psi Chi (though if you are a psychology major or minor, we'd love for you to join)!
