<p>I got a letter from this organization inviting me to be a member. I'm not really sure if it's legitimate at all. It seemed like "here, pay us money, and we'll send you a t-shirt." So i turned it down. Is being a member of this organization helpful? Did i make a mistake?</p>
<p>It seemed fishy to me.</p>
<p>It's a scam</p>
<p>we got this too- why do you think its a scam?</p>
<p>i got it too...my principal told me she wouldnt allow me to wear their honors cord at graduation, she recommended me not to join because its like buying more honors.</p>
<p>on the back it quoted someone as saying: "I feel that being a member of this organization was instrumental in my being accepted to Princeton."</p>
<p>...yea that and probably your parent being a professor there.</p>
<p>Yeah, I got one too. I heard from someone that it is a
"pay for the dubious honor" thing.</p>
<p>how much money did they want?</p>
<p>^more than it's worth...</p>
<p>I got it too...I think our school realized how wrong it is to buy your honors...ironically we do not have NHS club at our school anymore.</p>
