Is there a such thing as too many Honor Societies?

<p>If you have a 4.0 GPA, you’re eligible for every honor society in the school. Some have a 3.4 GPA requirement, a 3.7 GPA, a 3.85, etc… Would it look bad if you joined every single one of them? Or does that come with your academic achievement?</p>

<p>I don’t know what benefit there would be in joining any but the most exclusive one you are eligible for. There’s nothing special about what you are suggesting, I don’t know why anyone would be impressed.</p>

<p>What does an honor society do? (serious question, I have no idea).</p>

<p>Your GPA should be good enough to employers and grad schools anyways. Why don’t you join clubs that you like?</p>

<p>I don’t know much about honor societies, but if they’re something that’s just offered based on GPA, I don’t see the harm in joining all of them. It’s probably just the top one that looks important, and your GPA should be what matters, but I can’t see a real downside of joining.</p>

<p>Doesn’t matter I guess. Doesn’t hurt or help.</p>

<p>Personally I’d stick to what I actually like in the event that an employer or grad school asks me why I am in so and so club and I can have a response that’s better than ‘oh, I qualified, so I joined all of them for no reason.’ Also so I won’t be bored or have to go to a bunch of meetings I don’t care about. Especially if there are dues/membership fees.</p>
