Chi Sigma Iota
Chi Sigma Iota, CSI, is the international honor society of professional counseling. It was established in 1985, to provide recognition for outstanding achievement as well as outstanding service within the profession. CSI was created for counselors-in-training, counselor educators and professional counselors whose career commitment is to research and service through professional counseling. The mission of CSI is to promote scholarship, research, professionalism, leadership, and excellence in counseling, and to recognize high attainment in the pursuit of academic and clinical excellence in the profession of counseling. The CSI symbols and colors were chosen to reflect its mission and values: white for virtue, blue for trustworthiness and integrity.
In accordance with CSI by-laws, eligibility for membership is extended only to those students in the Molloy College Clinical Mental Health Counseling Program (CMHC) Master of Science Program who have completed at least 9 credit hours, have a cumulative GPA of 3.5 or better on a scale of 4.0, and are deemed promising for endorsement as an ethical and exemplary counselor-in-training. To be eligible for membership, a CMHC student must be recommended and invited as a member by their faculty advisor.
