Psi Beta

Psi Beta is a prestigious national honor society, designed for strong academic students who have an interest in Psychology. While many members are Psychology majors, our members can declare any major, and do have a wide variety of interests, hobbies and career paths. While voting membership in Psi Beta is limited to those who meet high academic standards set by the National Psi Beta Organization, we welcome everyone to join in our Psi Beta meeting and events.

On RACC's campus, Psi Beta's explicit mission is to foster an atmosphere of personal and professional development. As Psi Beta members, we strive to improve both ourselves and Reading Area Community College through our unwavering dedication to leadership, research, community service, mental health, and excellence in scholarship.

Through our efforts to accomplish our mission, Psi Beta sponsors a variety of activities and events, which are open to both members and non-members alike. If you are interested in learning more about what Psi Beta is and does, here are some ways to get to know us:
