It does . . . there’s a lot more rules and regulations than what I’ve listed above, also, things like there should be one activity that is more than 20 hours but not more than 50 or something like that, and the differentiation between “service” and “leadership” hours. </p>

<p>That’s why I didn’t join NHS. It pretty much has you on a leash and makes community service much more of an onus (At my school, anyway). Unfortunately, with a student body of overachievers and maybe about 25% Asians a big part of the student body is in NHS, and once they’re in, assume that it is a huge step towards their dream school. It’s only through CC that I learned that NHS is really not as important. It’s actually a little funny, actually. A lot of people say to me “<em>gasp</em> how could you not join NHS??!!”

</p>

<p>im almost positive you went to my high school. (aahs?) those rules are too dumb and familiar sounding haha.</p>

<p>i didnt join either… for pretty much the exact same reasons. all anyone cared about was how many hours they had and how to look good for college. and they’re a bunch of hypocrites- i know several that cheat all the time… honor, my left ass cheek…</p>
