Honors College: Double or nothing?

Im sort of in a dilemma about whether or not to enroll in my college’s honors program. Graduating with an honors degree would surely look good on my application… but what if it comes at the cost of a few gpa decimals? Would the fact that its an honors diploma compensate? Then theres the question of whether or not doing honors would even hurt my gpa. I’m sure I could do fine in honors classes (and maybe even as well gpa-wise as normal classes) but I again come to the question: Is the reward worth the potential risk?

I guess no one can really answer this, but any insight on the issue would be helpful.
