Psi Chi National Honor Society

The Hampton chapter of Psi Chi is open to students with the following qualifications: a) a cumulative GPA of 3.0 (seniors with a 2.95 may apply) b) an average of at least 3.0 in psychology courses c) 9 completed hours (3 courses) in psychology. Non-psychology majors may also become members if they have the required qualifications

Most psychology majors are juniors before meeting the above requirements.  Fees associated with membership include a one-time membership fee of $25 paid to the national organization and $10 per year to the local chapter. The local chapter has been involved in a variety of activities including, field trips, tutoring programs for psychology majors, community outreach, workshops and outside lecturers. Current members choose the activities for each school year. Dr. Nancy C. Duncan, Professor of Psychology, is the faculty sponsor and, along with Dr. Linda C. Petty, established the chapter at Hampton University in 1977.
