<p>At my highschool NHS was basically Key Club with some minimum GPA (I think it was either 3.6 or 3.7). It was huge at our school, but still a joke. Personally I don’t see anything honorable about doing the types of community service a lot of the kids did, “teaching aid” when they didn’t have a class (more or less time to either do homework or zone out), volunteering at a hospital or church (Which are businesses! That’s not volunteering, that’s just working, but for no wage! I bet they wouldn’t accept people volunteering at Taco Bell.), peer tutoring (was told that most of the kids getting “tutored” just don’t give a damn, and are being forced to be part of this peer tutoring program), other nonsense like that. Most of the stuff people do for this has 0 production value.</p>
