I received an invitation in the mail the other week to join this society I'd never heard about before. Apparently it's a worldwide academic community that is supposed to "benefit" me if I join - with scholarships, exchange programs, interships, etc. And I just wanted to know if anyone had heard about it or was associated with it? Because I'm uncertain if it's really worth me paying $93.00 for a piece of paper saying I'm a member - granted that'll look good on resumes because it means I'm in the top 15%, academically, at my university...but are there benefits other than that? Anyone even heard of it? Hoping you guys, being so widespread across the globe, might know something Candybar of MHOIR \| PLA Brat \| Keeper of Gabrielle's Scrolls Banner courtesy of my Brabsy

But with a membership fee that high, it almost sounds like a hoax to me? Please feel free to check out my deviantart site and my fanfic site!

But they do actually have a site. It would look good on resumes, and it might actually be real and help. I would just wonder if they are actually going to help with anything other than being good on paper. I was in this honors society only by invitation, national thing and it said it would help me with college, scholarships and all that, but they never did anything but send me a paper and chords to wear in graduation for high school. Granted it was for high school, but one would think that it wouldn't matter, if someone is in high school then they need help with college too. So to me its the same thing. I think if you have the money to pay for the entrance fee, it might be worth a shot. I tried looking them up on the better business bureau but I don't think they have that type of organization on there, as it isn't a business or charity really. I think it might be worth the chance that it would be helpful. No Xena, No Xenaverse! "Poor old Johnny Raye, sounded sad upon the radio, he moved a million hearts in mono."

And it's true that they can help you with work placement once down with school... Once your a member you are always a member.. At least that is the way I understand it... Once you are done with school or looking for work, the other alumi's help you to land a great job... Of course I really have no experience on the matter, as I was always making fun of the preps... If they are ligit then they should be willing to give you information that you will be able to verify ~I'm a part of you Xena, I want it to be like that forever..~

Several of my friends in college were/are members and I was invited to be a part of it too. I already belonged to another society and that's why I didn't join. It looks very good on resumes and I think once you pay the fee, you're a life long member. I would definitely do it if you have the money. P.S. Hi Snikz!

We're not very big on the societies and fraternities/sororities here. Just the Alumni... Please feel free to check out my deviantart site and my fanfic site!

(I'm assuming that's because we are in different countries, though). I didn't join at the time, but now I'm thinking maybe I should have. Avatar by Aurora Goddess

Good to know some people have actually heard of it LOL. I was sceptical about whether it'd be any good or was a hoax to start with too, but sounds like its legit!! Well, guess I'm putting my application in today then. Thanks for your help guys! Candybar of MHOIR \| PLA Brat \| Keeper of Gabrielle's Scrolls Banner courtesy of my Brabsy
