<p>Does membership in the Golden Key Int'l Honour Society carry any weight in the real world? Would it be impressive on my law school apps?</p>
<p>I received an invitation for membership today. Even if I don't join, it made me feel great b/c I had no idea I was in the top 15% at NU.</p>
<p>what do you guys think? is it woth $70, or is it a scam?</p>
<p>In my humble opinion, the only international honors society that's worth a damn is Phi Beta Kappa.</p>
<p>Pretty much a scam.</p>
<p>armcp is right. If it's free, go ahead and and accept, but don't give them any money.</p>
<p>Golden Key isn't a scam, as it has been around for a long time and actually holds meetings and performs public service work in many locations. However, I don't think it would help your law school application.</p>
<p>As far as a fee to join, doesn't Phi Beta Kappa, for example, require a membership fee as well?</p>
<p>It always peeves me when people post something is a scam just because of a membership fee. Fees are the freaking backbone of colleges. Everything I do requires a fee.</p>
<p>I don't mind paying a fee for something that will be worthwhile to me, but I can use $70 for a lot of other things. </p>
<p>Thanks for the advice, everyone.</p>
