Question about listing Honor Societies

Applying to College Common and Coalition Application
1

<p>So I was trying to figure out how to mention the different honor societies on the common app. People were saying that unless you put a lot of hours into it, it should be listed as an honor rather than an activity. I don't put hours upon hours of work into the society because they don't do much other than a few events so I'm guessing I should be it as an honor.</p>

<p>I'm a member of multiple honor societies, too many to list as individual honors, so I grouped them by years in the society (aka, Math and English honor society for grades 10-12 and Science and SS for grades 11-12). Would this be okay?</p>

<p>Also, I hold positions in a couple of the societies, so would it be okay if I mentioned the position and year held in the "Honors # Title" field? So I would put
Honors 2 Title:
Math and English honor society - English President (12)</p>

<p>Do you guys think this is okay to put? Or what would you do?</p>

<p>Yeah, you’re probably over-stressing about this. They’ll know what you mean and you’ll get the point across. The semantics are a relatively small issue compared to actually obtaining the honor in the first place.</p>

<p>Make it plural, add the word National (if these are national honor societies), capitalize all nouns, change the dash to a comma and move the word President up to emphasize it a bit more: </p>

<p>Math and English National Honor Societies, President English (12)</p>
