Psi Chi
Psi Chi is "A national honorary society for outstanding students in psychology. To be eligible for membership a student must rank in the top one-third of his or her class in general scholarship and must have demonstrated superior scholarship in psychology. A student must have taken experimental psychology [i.e., research methods in psychology]." (from the Austin College Bulletin)
Membership in Psi Chi is by invitation by the psychology faculty and by approval of the national organization.
The Austin College chapter was chartered on November 5th, 1976.

The purpose of the Austin College Psychology Club is to provide an outlet for any person interested in psychology. It is a place to meet and discuss current issues of psychology and to learn about the field. It provides an opportunity for people to learn about psychology outside of the classroom through speakers and conferences. Membership is open to any interested student in the Austin College community.

promote the field of psychology among the student body. Psychology Club
is particularly suited for first and second year students who are interested
in learning more about and participating in the field of psychology.
