The degree to which most of these honor societies provide any benefit to students often depends on the local chapter at the school and how active it is, if at all. Take a look at the local chapter and find a few current members to see if there's anything there worth joining. In terms of 'prestige' the only one that generally gets any notice is PBK... after that there are a bunch of others that few people will have heard of.
Be forewarned that after joining many of these lesser known 'honor society's' seem to do nothing more than sell your details to credit card companies so you can get a (insert greek symbols) 'special' credit card or send you other junk mail. I wouldn't go so far as saying it's all a scam, but I often fail to see the worth in many of these organizations for the average 'member.'
