NSCS is not a scam BUT I would question its value. I've worked with academically talented college students for more than 15 years and when they ask me whether they should join this organization I tell them to weigh the benefits against the costs. I also tell them they will most likely be invited to join many honor societies while they are undergraduates and, unless their funds are limitless, they might want to wait until they are invited to join Phi Beta Kappa, Phi Kappa Phi or the honor societies in their discipline that carry far more prestige and potential benefits.
And certainly the emails the posters above received in recent days would make me think twice. In my opinion, pressure techniques and honor societies do not go together.
