St. John’s University’s, Staten Island Campus Psi Chi chapter
provides you with the opportunity to join Psi Chi if you meet the
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
National Office and may be used for reference purposes such as
applications for graduate school and jobs. The Psi Chi national
membership fee is $50. This one-time fee is for lifetime
membership, a certificate suitable for framing, a membership card,
and a lapel pin. There are no annual national dues, but each
chapter may have chapter dues.
When you are inducted into Psi Chi, you become eligible 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 to the members while they are in school. After
graduation, members are encouraged to subscribe to Eye on Psi Chi
to keep up with Psi Chi news. Psi Chi members are eligible to
present research papers/posters at Psi Chi programs held at
national 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 new members and activities of each chapter
are published in Eye on Psi Chi and are preserved for historical
purposes. To obtain more information about Psi Chi and its
benefits, visit www.psichi.org.
If you are interested in joining the Staten Island Campus chapter
of Psi Chi, you must obtain and fill out the application form and
return it to Dr. Miguel Roig or Dr. Carolyn Vigorito, faculty
advisors for Psi Chi, in the DaSilva Academic Center, 3rd Floor.
The chapter will then determine if you are eligible for membership.
We look forward to hearing from you. If you have any questions,
