Science National Honor Society - Questions

<p>I'm considering starting a chapter of SNHS at our school. I have some questions about it:</p>

<ol>
<li><p>Chapter advisors, are these students, or teachers? </p></li>
<li><p>What was the membership application for you guys like?</p></li>
<li><p>How did you guys "choose" members after the applications? </p></li>
<li><p>How do monthly meetings sound? How about requiring maybe 5 hours Community Service?</p></li>
</ol>

<ol>
<li><p>Teachers, I think.</p></li>
<li><p>Standard stuff. Teacher recommendations, list of any science / math awards.</p></li>
<li><p>Membership is for strong science students with commendable academic records.</p></li>
<li><p>Community service is for the regular NHS. Force them to take national science tests, in addition to tutoring in the sciences.</p></li>
</ol>

<p>Sorry if I doubt you, but that sounds pretty stringent! Should the regular requirements be modified that much? These are the requirements on the SNHS site: [Science</a> National Honor Society](<a href=“http://www.sciencenhs.org/membership.html]Science”>http://www.sciencenhs.org/membership.html)</p>
