Psi Beta National Honor Society
Psi Beta is the national honor society in psychology for community and junior colleges. It is the first two-year college honor society approved for membership in the Association of College Honor Societies, which regulates membership requirements. Psi Beta was founded for the purpose of stimulating, encouraging, and recognizing students' outstanding scholarship and interest in psychology.
The society functions as a federation of chapters located at 125 accredited two-year colleges. Psychology students become members by invitation of the chapters at their colleges. The chapters are operated by the Psi Beta student members and faculty sponsors. Psi Beta participates with Psi Chi, the national honor society in psychology for senior colleges and universities, at APA, APS, and regional conventions.
