[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So my daughter would technically qualify for Nationals Honor Society, but she is thinking she doesn’t want to apply for it. She’s already busy with her other activities and it does require a small time commitment for service. Can anyone tell me how valuable is it to join the National Honor Society? Do most kids do it? Is it something that distinguishes you for colleges? Or do they care if you have the grades and are just not a member of the Honor Society?

If you look at the numbers of kids walking at graduation with a bazillion tassels and cords from every honor society, I can't think that just being in one really makes a difference. If it's really a student's passion and is THE club they put their time and effort into, then sure it matters. If it is just one more things on a long list of activities, it doesn't matter so much. If she could only list 3 activities, would it be one of them?[/quote]

Probably not. She has other activities that mean a lot to her and she’s very involved in. She would only do Honor Society to “check a box”
That is to do it if it were expected. [/quote]
