But we bet you haven’t thought of this major career-building opportunity, so take notes: Join an honor society!

Okay, so we get that hearing “honor society” might bring you back to your high school days. But trust us; joining an honor society in college can be your ticket to your brightest future. Check out the facts:By being a part of an honor society, a student opens the door to academic scholarships!

  • Students that associate themselves with honor societies are able to network with students who have similar academic values as them. This creates a strong academic community and students are able to motivate and encourage each other.
  • When a potential employer sees that a student is associated with an honor society, he or she knows that this student excelled at the university level and will trust that upon hiring, the student will continue to excel. The same goes for grad schools!
  • Alumni networking opportunities make the chances of getting hired straight out of college much higher.
  • Honor society members are able to find mentors to write recommendation letters and network to find the job that’s best for them.
