Member Engagement (Point System)

All applications must be sent to the ASU Department of Psychology. Do not apply through the Psi Chi International Website. Instead, complete the webform on the Department of Psychology page. We will review your eligibility and respond with an admissions decision via email. 

Psi Chi at ASU Tempe members have the opportunity to engage in a variety of services and career development events. We use a point system to showcase your excellence in participating in these activities.

Each event is worth points, usually ranging from 1-3. Psi Chi members who earn 5 points per full semester since induction can receive free Psi Chi honors chords for their graduation (pictured above).
