<p>I was just wondering, those of you who are in NHS -- what kinds of activities besides meetings to does your NHS organize? When I was in HS, we could only join in our junior year, if I remember correctly, we just had a short 30 min meeting once a month, and did a few volunteer activities. We had a pretty big attendance -- like 50+ people, but we didnt' do much so I was never inspired to stay on my senior year, or get into an honor society in college. What are you NHSs like?</p>
<p>I’d honestly say that the amount of impact NHS can have depends on the commitment of the club officers. I kind of put NHS on a higher pedestal than a couple volunteer activities. I’ll be president of my school’s NHS this year, and I’m planning that we’ll put on an event every two or three months. We’re looking at ways to help bring the community together and also help show our school in a positive light. Right now we’ve started a clothing drive in preparation for the upcoming school year as well as an obstacle-course/kids’ maze… School hasn’t even started yet.</p>
<p>I’m the Vice President of my school’s NHS and ours plays a fairly large role at the school. Every member tutors an underclassmen regularly. The officers speak at a number of school related events. We plan and put on freshman orientation, a school wide dodge ball tournament, alumni events, etc.</p>
