Psi Beta, the national
honor society in psychology for community colleges, was inspired by Ruth
Cousins, former Psi Chi Executive Officer. Psi Beta was founded and
incorporated in the state of Tennessee by Carol Tracy with eleven
charter chapters on November 5, 1981. Also in 1981, Psi Beta began
publishing
 the Psi Beta Newsletter, which continues to be published two
times a year - fall and spring. Psi Beta's affiliation with the
American
Psychological Association was approved in August of 1988. Psi Beta
became an affiliate of the
American Psychological Society
(now the Association for Psychological Science) in 1991. On
February 19, 1994 Psi Beta was approved for membership in the
Association of College Honor Societies as that organization's first
two-year college honor society member. A more detailed history of Psi
Beta is available in the
Psi Beta
Handbook and Membership Brochure. |
