UPDATE CHAPTER WEBSITES
When was the last time you updated your chapter website? Chapters should appoint an officer or member to gather the most recent chapter information and ensure your website is updated regularly. If your chapter does not have a website, Psi Chi encourages you to appoint a member or committee to create such a site (browse current Psi Chi websites and award winners for ideas). Check if your chapter has a website here:
