Three Honor Societies
Phi Theta Kappa. Psi Beta. Sigma Alpha Pi. Psi Kappa. Phi Beta Lambda. The National Society of Leadership and Success. The National Society of Collegiate Scholars.
Use the words ‘Phi’, ‘Psi’, ‘Pi’ or ‘The National Society of’ and you have yourself a student group.
If you get asked to join any of these organizations this semester, you may be wondering what are the differences between them.
HCC does not have the party-hosting Fraternities and Sororities of Greek-life, but there are three honor societies: Phi Theta Kappa, The National Society of Collegiate Scholars and Sigma Alpha Pi (The National Society of Leadership and Success).
These honor societies are invitation-only organizations that recognize academic and leadership achievement. …show more content…
All three conduct community service initiatives. Each group has a one-time membership fee of $85-95 to join. The flashy colored cord, medallion, stole and tassel for graduation are, of course, not included with the joining …show more content…
There are over 500 thousand members at nearly 500 chapters.
Psi Beta
This is a national psychology honor society at two-year colleges. The group offers leadership and community service opportunities. There is a one-time membership fee of $50. Nationally there are only $1-thousand total in scholarships for student research projects.
Members are eligible for student affiliate membership in the American Psychological Association (APA) and the Association for Psychological Science (APS). Psi Beta members can also be be "introduced" upon transfer to a Psi Chi chapter at a four-year college or university. Psi Chi is the international honor society for psychology majors at most four-year institutions in Texas and beyond.
Psi Kappa or The Psychology Club at Houston Community College.
Based out of HCC’s Stafford campus, this club promotes psychology education outside of the classroom. The group conducts informative meetings and service projects, and there are leadership opportunities as club officers.
This is an independent HCC student club, not an honor society. Don’t confuse Psi Kappa with Psi Beta, or Phi Theta Kappa for that
