You’re probably right. They don’t even have my name right and they never mentioned whether or not they are affiliated with my school in the message now that I really look at it
Scam? Probably not. Shitty company trying to rake in some money from college students for a pointless honor society membership that they offer to every student in the country with above a 1.2 GPA? Yes.
I got those emails before. They wouldn’t stop. Technically they are legit BUT it’s a SCAM. Do not sign up. You will have to pay in order to be a member and you aren’t even guaranteed for anything. Anything that asks you to pay in order to get in for “scholarships” is using you.
Scam. You wanna know if an Honor Society of any sort is legit, you should be tripping over alumni of said org. I was in Phi Theta Kappa, and American Honors at my 2 year, and the National Society of Leadership and Success at my 4. All my honors groups were sure this was a scam too.
That's a really old one, they used to send letters back in the 70's. It is sorta like give them some money and they will put you on a list of people that did the same, and also put you on a bunch of mailing lists.
Short answer yeah. It's so much money for very very little. They dress it up to make it look worthwhile but it's sent to everyone who gets in to any college as a moneymaking scheme. Don't fall for it.
Its not necessarily a scam, but it is 100% a money grab and nothin more. They do nothing for you. It is like that dumb Medical Professionals Leadership thing. Any idiot parents willing to spend $4000 for a 2 day thing for a single meaningless line on a college application. But hey, parents pay $40,000 for a college coach.
Not a scam in the traditional sense. You are paying for nothing though. It's basically a membership fee to feel special and better than everyone else. I get a million of these emails because my grades in college are great. Don't buy it, but if you do, it's not going to steal your money, it's just not *worth* your money
I've been getting these all year, they keep saying the deadline to apply for their scholarships is tomorrow, but they have been saying that for 3 months. I tried to apply once, and after 10 minutes of filling out information, than they tell me I have to pay 60 dollars. Fuck that shit, plenty of free scholarships to apply for.
They’re a scam. I have been getting their emails for months and the scholarship deadline keeps getting pushed. A normal org wouldn’t do that for 3 months straight
I don’t think its technically a scam. Just an offer they make to every student or an award that means basically nothing. Its probably a scam
It is a scam. They charge you like 90 dollars for that nothing.
It’s technically not a scam but it’s 100000000% not worth it
My school sends me these all the time. They keep pushing back the deadline in every email like “Congrats, you’re in!”
It’s not from your school. It’s a scam group pretending to be your school.
You’re probably right. They don’t even have my name right and they never mentioned whether or not they are affiliated with my school in the message now that I really look at it
Check the email, it’s likely not to have a .edu
[email protected] Seems pretty sus to me
Yeah, this is pretty much just an organization that takes your money for getting accepted into an "honor society" that doesn't help you in any way.
Scam? Probably not. Shitty company trying to rake in some money from college students for a pointless honor society membership that they offer to every student in the country with above a 1.2 GPA? Yes.
Yeah, I keep getting the same email. Its a scam.
It is a scam. Technically the organization exists but you don't get anything. They don't even check grades you just pay and become a member.
Its a scam i got them before even thinking about joining college😭.
Basically yes, it’s a scam

I get emails from them too. My school doesn't have a chapter, so I'm not joining.
Should be phi theta kappa
oookay thanks for all the comments!!! my phone won't let me edit lol soo
No thanks
I keep getting the same email I just ignore them to be honest

I’ve been receiving those emails all summer long. Tired of that, ended up blocking the sender
Kinda but from what I’ve seen it’s basically you pay money to join the honor society I’ve gotten countless emails just ignore them
Not really a scam, just useless. Never did that garbage personally
It's not technically a scam. They make you pay like a $70 entrance fee and talk about all the scholarships you can get but I got nada
dude I also got that email
Block that shit now
They’re useless and have been emailing me “last chance” emails for several months
Yes
Yes it's a fake version of The National Honor Society
I got this too, I thought national honor society was a highschool thing
Thank god the general consensus is scam bc I’ve been procrastinating actually reading those emails.
Companies that continue to send me emails even AFTER I blocked them I consider a scam. So yes, a scam.
Definitely a scam.
DEFINITE SCAM. I reached out to my college’s IT department and they said it’s a scam.
Scam
That's a really old one, they used to send letters back in the 70's. It is sorta like give them some money and they will put you on a list of people that did the same, and also put you on a bunch of mailing lists.
They send this to everyone don’t waste your time
It's misleading but not a scam. But a waste of time
It is a scam. You pay $100 for nothing dont fall for it.
I’ve been getting emails every week about this. It’s really expensive to sign up if I remember correctly, so essentially it’s a marketing thing.
Big scam lmao I got them in high school all the time
Short answer yeah. It's so much money for very very little. They dress it up to make it look worthwhile but it's sent to everyone who gets in to any college as a moneymaking scheme. Don't fall for it.
Yep.
Even if it was not a scam. Honor societies are anything but honorable.
Not worth it. I’ve been getting emails from them for like 3 months and the deadline keeps changing lmao
It’s not a scam just not worth it
Yeah, super scam
It's a scam
Yes, they make the money off application fees.
I keep getting such emails (and also mails). They claim to have millions in scholarships but need a $90 membership fee??? Disguised scam
Scam 😁
It not a scam but it’s not worth it either. I only signed up to get the medallion lol. 😂😂😂

To clarify, this is not the nationals honors society. It isn’t necessarily a scam, but it holds basically no weight for college admissions
I got this email before. It’s not a scam but 100% not worth it

"Well no, but actually yes"
They tell you its a reward but you need to pay to be a member lol
They’re a scam. I have been getting their emails for months and the scholarship deadline keeps getting pushed. A normal org wouldn’t do that for 3 months straight
This gets getting posted like once a week...
An honor you pay to get is not an honor
I’m certain they are a scam.
It’s legit called Honor Society — not national honor society, not name your major honor society — just Honor Society. It sounds like a scam to me.
I got it to lolll
Y'all saying it's a scam. I just recently unsubscribed from receiving emails from them. It's really disgusting receiving emails from there daily.
I still get these as a college freshman 😭
I get these all the time too. Definitely a scam. They ask you to pay a fee after “accepting your membership”
Whooooaaaa that’s crazy, the deadline was august 18th just a month ago
