Being part of an honor society is a prestige and pride you carry for the rest of your life. Membership does not only connote the privilege of belonging to an exclusive circle of like-minded peers, it also connotes excellence and conformity to the high ideals of a particular honor society.
The perks of being an honor society member include access to exclusive resources, lessons and other secrets to success. Not to mention the knowledge of the society’s rich history, the bond formed through social activities and the huge network of connections you’ll acquire afterwards.
The prestige you bring with should nonetheless be shown on graduation day. To express it, certain colors to be used in graduation accessories like stoles and cords are set for each society.
This is a color guide provided by the Association of College Honor Society (ACHS):
Advice on Becoming a Member of an Honor Society:
Generally, you do not apply for membership; you get invited. To be considered, you must at least attract an honor society’s attention.
Most honor societies choose their members on the basis of academic standing and student leadership. Students that are seen to be future leaders and are the cream of the crop are mostly the ones who are invited to become members.
So, if you want to become part of one of your school’s most elite groups (often, there are several), don’t count on getting invited. Just do your best to exemplify high ideals and academic achievement, an invitation will likely be forthcoming.
