Should I Join the Psychology Club or Psi Chi?

The Psychology Club and Psi Chi operate as a joint organization. All members have access to resources offered by the psychology department, but Psi Chi members receive additional benefits from the international organization. All students are encouraged to join the Psychology Club, and you can join Psi Chi too if you qualify. The unique benefits of being a Psi Chi member includes a membership certificate, access to psychology-related publications, eligibility for awards and grants, and international recognition.
