College honor societies?

<p>What are these? They have like Greek names and I thought they were frats and sororities, but they're called honor societies??</p>

<p>Please explain?</p>

<p>The most prestigious is Phi Beta Kappa. Admission is based on your undergraduate college grades. Only 15,000 new members are tapped every year.</p>
