Students become members by joining the chapter at the university where they are enrolled. Our local chapter was installed in May 1969 and has remained an active organization at the University of Scranton since. Students must be a declared major or minor in psychology, rank in the top 35th percentile in general scholarship, and show superior scholarship in psychology.
