Psi Chi
Psi Chi is the national honor society for psychology. Membership is open to psychology majors/minors. Eligibility is based on an overall GPA of 3.0 or higher, being in the top third of the psychology GPA, and the completion of three psychology classes. Members travel to local and national conferences to present papers and projects, and participate in a national service project.
Pals and Partners
The Pals and Partners program is very popular with Carthage psychology majors. The program pairs Carthage students with community children who are identified as "at risk" because of home life or experiences in school. Carthage students provide positive role models for the children, help them understand the importance of school, and encourage them to get involved in positive activities outside the classroom. Participants must commit a minimum of 2 hours per week to the program.
Residence Life Council
Many psychology majors are interested in getting involved with Residence Life Council, or working as resident assistants. Residence Hall Council is made up of representatives from each residence hall and it works with the Director of Residence Life to distribute funds, work for hall improvements, and help in the development of college policy. There are many events such as Alcohol Awareness Week, Lil' Sibs Weekend, and state and regional conferences that enable members to become more involved on campus.
