<p>Which one has more merit? Why do you say that?</p>
<p>How much do either of them matter, especially if its a popularity contest half the time?</p>
<p>Do people usually take positions like these with a grain of salt, considering that they reflect only popularity most of the time?</p>
<p>What do you think?</p>
<p>For sophomore year, the most ridiculous person nearly won. There was like... one vote that pulled in the worthy candidate.</p>
<p>yes they recognize this.</p>
<p>It certainly won't hurt to have either of those positions. Simple membership in these clubs are usually not worth very much, because lower positions don't require a lot of commitment. However, becoming the president of either of those shows that you have put some time and effort into the activity.</p>
<p>I personally feel that student council is more of a popularity contest than NHS. The students involved in NHS tend to make wiser voting decisions (at least in my school) than the class as a whole. I've seen the most ridiculous students running for positions in student council, but my class had very worthy candidates for NHS.</p>
<p>ha be both! i'm NHS pres and senior class VP.. lol</p>
<p>DUDE.</p>
<p>do the admissions officers recognize this?</p>
<p>cuz some dumb kid ran for president at my school against ME, and he got it. he was all ghetto and stuff, and this year, he earned our class about $10 (not even joking). this kid doesn't enforce anything. and do you know what he said in our campaign debate? he said, "yo yo yo, all you dudes and dudettes out there, vote for me. HOLLAHH!!!!"</p>
<p>i was reelected into student council on the basis that I had become addicted to the vice presidency. like, crack-addicted addicted. </p>
<p>i scratched my neck obsessively throughout my speech. </p>
<p>needless to say, people in my school are...yea. it really is a popularity contest.</p>
<p>I'm treasurer of my senior class next year and NHS President. For NHS, it's essential that things get done because all members need to fulfill a point quota by graduation or they don't graduate with honors.</p>
<p>
he said, "yo yo yo, all you dudes and dudettes out there, vote for me. HOLLAHH!!!!"
</p>
<p>Well, what did you respond with? I probably would've voted for that kid, unless you responded with something cool - like a freestyle.</p>
<p>I think student council president means slightly more than NHS president. Student Council implys the entire student body, whereas the entire student body won't be members of national honors society. Some schools, (Rice, Claremont McKenna) keep track of the student council presidents they have and try to get more by offering merit aid. Not sure if they have the same policy for NHS presidents.</p>
<p>As for the ghetto person running for Student Council -- homg, I couldn't stop laughing for five minutes straight. XD</p>
<p>I think Student council president has more merit. I have a feeling I might have lost the election for VP for key club.</p>
<p>four and a half year old thread… Pork Fried Rice has probably graduated college by now.</p>
Look at little park runner junior… gonna cry?
