yea, maybe it is... because I joined it at UGA and was definitley a member and now I'm getting all these things from South Carolina trying to get me to send in another 75$... you'd think it'd be a national thing.

Yea, they sent me all sorts of crap. I have a bumper stucker that says "member", some pens that say member, and a whole bunch of packets they sent trying to get me to give my credit card number to pay the "one time fee" of 75 bucks.

Hey, this is out of topic, but I have seen many people use "AKA." What does it mean?

Golden Key International Honor Society isn't a scam. They do community service.

Yeah, we should really just request NSCS to stop sending us crap. Maya Angelou? Sweet.

I think Phi Theta Kappa is pretty solid.
But does anyone know how to join these provided you have the requirements? I got 2 or 3 of invitations to other honor societies (all of which I suspect are scams), but the only one I really would consider to join is Phi Theta Kappa. Does the school have to have a chapter for you to join?

Yes, and it's by invitation only - a "they'll find you" type thing.

Would I be considered a candidate if there is no chapter of Phi Theta Kappa in my school?

I think your school has to contact you...
I wanted to join and inquired about it at my school and was informed I had to wait to recieve an invite...
I got a $12,000 schlorship from Tulane because of PTK (even though it's doubtful I'll go there) so it is worth it.

Is "Who's who among HS students" a scam? I and some of my friends have received a letter from them but we didn't apply for it. Are we missing out something or is it a good decision?

i got into phi theta kappa about a month ago and it was like $75 but they give scholarships so its good. you have to have a 3.5 and be enrolled in 12 hours or more to qualify. does it really look that good on an application that i am in it? i am applying to nyu-stern, bu, bc, uva, purdue, ou, tcu, smu, and w&m so i need all the help i can get.
