    Acceptance Email
Click For Summary
The discussion centers around an email notification of acceptance into an organization called the Honor Society (honorsociety.org), which the user finds questionable due to their low overall GPA, despite having a 4.0 in their major. Participants express skepticism about the legitimacy of the organization, comparing it to the National Honor Society (NHS) and questioning its value. Concerns are raised about whether the organization sends acceptance emails broadly or if nominations are required. Links are shared that label the Honor Society as a scam, reinforcing doubts about its credibility and the significance of accepting membership. Overall, the consensus is that the Honor Society may not hold any real importance or benefit for students.

Thanks and try not to make too much fun. I'm sure this bull crap. :smile:
