Is it worth doing honors?

I tried looking this up on the web site but I couldn’t find it. If a student is admitted to honors as a freshman do they have to maintain a 3.5 GPA at TAMU? From what I hear that is difficult to do in engineering even without honors classes. Also if a student is admitted into university honors their freshman year from what I am understanding the student isn’t required to take any honors classes freshman year but they will still get priority registration. Am I getting this right? From what I understood students can “get their feet on the ground” as Isu suggests and then move on to the honors classes during sophmore year. Please tell me if I’ve got these things right. Thanks.
