Owen Richter Inducted into Psi Chi International Honor Society

2018 Mar 28

Owen Richter was one of 13 students inducted into the Elmira College chapter of the Psi Chi International Honor Society in Psychology during a recent induction ceremony.

Psi Chi was founded in 1929 with the goal of encouraging, stimulating, and maintaining excellence in scholarship for the purpose of advancing both the science and application of psychology. Psi Chi's symbol is based on the Greek letters psi and chi, which have been used for decades in the Psi Chi induction ritual to express the Greek words psyche and cheires, which in turn symbolize mind (scholarship and the enrichment of the mind) and hands (fellowship and cooperation in research).

Since its founding 1971, the Elmira College chapter has been inducting students of high academic standing into Psi Chi's ranks.
