<p>Today, I found out I was accepted into my school's National Honor Society (yay!)
Problem: I'm an officer in a club that meets on the same day NHS does. I've worked really hard to get there, and I believe that I could become a president next year. Both NHS and my club are pretty stringent on attendence, so splitting attendence isn't an option. </p>
<p>Is it worth it to drop a officer position and become an regular NHS member?</p>
<p>I didn’t really find NHS that fulfilling (then again, my school’s chapter didn’t do much). Not sure what your school’s chapter does though. Basically, just ask yourself, is joining NHS worth dropping all your activity and work in this club?</p>
<p>Depends what club/how passionate you are about the club</p>
<p>Go for the officer position–NHS doesn’t mean that much</p>
<p>Leading a club you’re interested in is always better on an app than being a joe blow member of a club you don’t care about. Also, in my personal opinion as a past NHS chapter president, NHS is a huge waste of time.</p>
<p>I never really understood the value of NHS. A smart kid becomes a member of a club that honors him for being smart. Why?</p>
<p>I had the exact same problem so I just made the club meeting after NHS. Also um not sure how it worked at your school but my NHS chapter meets once a month. Also if you’re president change the meeting day assuming your adviser is willing</p>
<p>I would do the officer position. You get a lot more out of it.</p>
<p>Though Nekogami’s suggestion is pretty good. My school’s NHS is very active and we do a lot of valuable things. If yours is, too, then I think you should talk about moving the meeting date. We had a small school so if we collided meetings with the big clubs (NHS, Key Club, and FBLA/DECA being the biggest ones), then other clubs risk losing good members.</p>
