<p>I joined last year, and now I regret it. To me, it's really just a waste of time. I'm seriously considering just not turning in my hours, getting put on probation, and eventually getting kicked out. </p>
<p>My question is: Would me quitting NHS seriously affect my chances of getting into a decent college?</p>
<p>My grades are mostly A's, if that matters.</p>
<p>It wouldn’t matter. NHS is just another service club (if that) and there’s nothing particularly impressive about it. And it’s not going to be a “red flag” or whatever if it’s not on your application.</p>
<p>Honestly, NHS didn’t really matter all that much for me (I was elected VP senior year). Most of my volunteer and other activities were outside of NHS.</p>
<p>I quite NHS half a year after I joined. It’s a waste of time.</p>
<p>I guess if your chapter is quite active in volunteering, it would be a good use of time. Otherwise don’t bother. A few years ago, my NHS chapter was basically an induction ceremony, and meetings on events that never occurred.</p>
<p>I’m in the exact same situation as you. To me, it seems a bit useless - all we do is pick up trash around campus once a month and occasionally do a project that is identical to another that I’ve done in Anchor Club.</p>
<p>Whether it will hurt you depends on what schools you’re applying to, but I can safely say that it’s not going to break your application, not by a long shot.</p>
