frogger Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 Is this a worthless money grab? I usually throw away all the Who's who and honor society junk mail pretty quickly. This one actually has advisors from the school with legit university emails but at first glance, I'm still thinking worthless. Am I missing something? Thought I'd at least double check. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lanny Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 My DD receives promotions like that occasionally. The last one arrived approximately 2 weeks ago. Things I have never heard of. Possibly some of them have good benefits but basically I think they want money and won't provide any benefit, because few if any people have ever heard of them. I told her that if and when she receives an invitation for Phi Beta Kappa to sign up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MamaSprout Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 It is legitimate. It's sort of like National Honor Society. My campus has a chapter. I had some students bring me their invites last year so I investigated it (I think I look like everyone's mom, so I get questions about a bit of everything). I'm not sure how much name recognition it would get on a resume, but I think they do have virtual speakers nationally and possibly some on-campus stuff. If you dc is interested in something like that, I'd have them reach out to their campus student activities people to see how much their chapter does. Otherwise, I'd let it go. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RootAnn Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 The chapter at dd#2's school is doing a highway cleanup activity next week, but I have no idea what they normally do. We tossed the invite. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
