Listing Clubs on your Application?

<p>I was just wondering if anyone is listing clubs on their application, you know those clubs that you are a member but don't do much in them but have in fact been a member of them for 2 to 3 years?</p>

<p>National Honor Society
Mu Apha Theta
National Spanish Honor Society (I don't do anything in this club specifically;
however, I am heavily involved with other things relating to Spanish and
Latin American cultures outside of school).
International Thespian Society (Here again, I don't do anything as a member
although I am pretty active in theatre).</p>

<p>For me, National Spanish Honor Society and International Thespian Society are more like professional organizatons instead of clubs. </p>

<p>Or are most national honor societies more of an award/honor instead of a club since you have to meet certain criteria to be a member? </p>

<p>How is everyone else dealing with this?</p>

<p>same for me</p>

<p>so i'm bumping this</p>

<p>Thanks for the bump!</p>

<p>I also asked a similiar question under another thread about NHS. Is NHS a club, an achievement or honor?</p>

<p>Unless you are president of NHS; you really don't do anything. However, you do have to get accepted and the criteria to get in is based on other factors, not just academics. </p>

<p>I feel like if I list it, I look desperate, but if I don't list it the adcoms might think I could not get accepted in to it? I do know students who were rejected due to character and other stuff.</p>

<p>Yeah, someone help, same question here, is NHS club/honor/achievement??</p>

<p>I really do not want to list it as a club because I spend about 6 hours a year with it other than doing a little cs here and there that is organized by NHS. I am leaning more towards honor.</p>

<p>hmmmmmmmmm, well maybe it varies from chapter to chapter, but I know I had to do some 30 hours of service to stay in it last year...</p>
