Psi Chi Usage Policy: Contacting Psi Chi Chapters, Label Lists
Psi Chi has guidelines regarding the use of chapter contact information found on the Psi Chi website, and has a policy regarding contacting Psi Chi chapters about third-party offers (such as graduate school program information). For Psi Chi's privacy policy concerning membership information, please read that privacy policy here.
CONTACTING PSI CHI CHAPTERS: USAGE POLICY
Contact information for Psi Chi chapters is provided solely for the purpose of aiding communication between chapters and members of Psi Chi. Use of this contact information for unsolicited purposes (without the authorization of the Psi Chi Central Office) is strictly prohibited.
For instance, if a Psi Chi chapter wants to coordinate activities or service projects with another Psi Chi chapter in its local area, this would be a valid reason to look up and use a Psi Chi chapter's contact information. Another valid use would be a member of Psi Chi wanting to contact her or his chapter or chapter faculty advisor.
However, any person wanting to contact a Psi Chi chapter for purposes such as (but not limited to) advertising, recommendations (books, speakers, guides, reference materials), research participation, or other third-party solicitations without Psi Chi's approval is strictly prohibited.
Psi Chi, as an organization and as voted on by the Psi Chi Board of Directors, cannot affiliate, endorse, favor, advertise, or recommend one person's (or one organization's) services, materials or surveys due to Psi Chi's being a nonprofit organization for the entire field of psychology.
MAILING LABEL LIST POLICY
In order to protect the privacy of its members, Psi Chi does not sell or distribute lists of its undergraduate (or graduate) members. One area of exception however is the use of our mailing lists for promotion of graduate school programs in psychology. In this case, you may purchase a complete set of our 1090+ chapter addresses on pre-printed labels for $0.20 per label. If you fall into this category and are interested in purchasing labels for your mailing, our standard label policy is as follows:
Please send one copy of all materials you wish to mail to our chapters along with a cover letter indicating your interest in purchasing a label list. The request may be physically mailed or emailed to the Central Office. Psi Chi reserves the right to review all materials and to reject orders that do not meet Psi Chi standards. Mailing labels are sold for one-time use only by the requestor. They are not to be reproduced, reused, nor resold to another user.
Please include in your cover letter how you would like the first line of the labels to be addressed, as there are two options, "FOR PSI CHI CHAPTER", or "TO PSI CHI CHAPTER OFFICERS." Also state if you would like the labels to be sorted by zip code, state, or region. Once your materials have been reviewed and approved, we will mail you the 1,090+ labels along with an invoice. Upon receipt of the invoice, payment should be remitted by check or money order for the total amount on the invoice.
Mailing labels are not returnable--once an order for mailing labels has been placed, no cancellations/refunds will be granted. Labels are distributed on pressure sensitive (gummed) labels, and are not offered by email or any other electronic means of transfer.
Exceptions include graduate school programs in psychology (as voted on by the Board of Directors) to whom the Central Office sells mailing label lists and persons directly involved in Psi Chi research (with prior approval from the Board of Directors or Central Office). For more on label lists, read on below.
