QUESTIONS ABOUT TRANSFER OR PSI BETA STUDENTS
Does your chapter have a question about the membership requirements for a transfer student who (a) has transferred from another institution, (b) was inducted as a member of Psi Chi at another school, or (c) is a member of Psi Beta? All three scenarios and Psi Chi's official policy on transfer students are answered here:

CHAPTER OFFICERS: USE MEMBER SURVEY AS RECRUITMENT TOOL
Use the Member Survey (see link below) as an aid for your chapter to determine your members' interests and ability to participate in chapter events. Your chapter may use the member survey provided as is, or may modify it to suit the specific needs of your chapter.
