At the end of each academic year, the active members of the chapter elect a new executive board staff for the following year. In order to be elected, a student must first be nominated. The members with the most nominations receive an offer to run for their nominated positions, that they can either accept or decline. From there, they must write an explanation of why they are running for the position, and what their goals are. The positions are then voted upon by all active members, and the new executive board is elected. This staff is kept in place for the next academic year.

You can view our current Executive staff here, and to learn about what each officer on the board does, you can read it all here, on the official Psi Chi website!

In order to be a member of Psi Chi, a student must be a Psychology Major or Minor, and at least a second semester sophomore. Students must have a GPA that places them in the top 35% of their class, and it must be higher than a 3.0 on a 4.0 scale. The Registrar department will send a list of the qualifying students to the overseeing staff member, and from there an invitation to join the society will be extended!
