My high school was rather secretive (or unorganized) regarding honor societies, and despite being on honor roll each semester, I never heard of a single one. This seems to be as effective as seemingly empty memberships, like the ones you referenced. In college, I was invited to join Phi Kappa Beta. However, despite being valedictorian of my graduating class, I was ineligible because I was missing a required math class for membership. Thus, I don't have a single good or relevant experience with honor societies. Being as this is a potentially very useful outlet and network for many students, I hope its implementation across high schools and colleges improves.
