They offer scholarships that other students don't have access to and provide opportunities for leadership and community involvement. The thing is, I will be transferring hopefully this spring semester. My questions are:
You think this will help my transfer process go "better"?
Academically, will this help me join Phi Beta Kappa(assuming I continue my gpa trend)?
I do want to point out that I do want to graduate with a BS and honors cause I like to gloat jk  . I know it won't help with getting jobs but it's for self achievement. I do know that having a Phi Theta Kappa on your resume is good for a little higher pay in government entry level jobs.
So with all that being said and putting my goals out there. What do you educated guys think? |
I was a part of two organizations like this when I was at Winona State (ALD and NSCS). Would I say I gained anything from these organizations? No. Did I lose anything? No. I still put them on my resume because it looks good.
Keep in mind though too, most of my extra curricular time was spent with my non-academic fraternity, TKE. So could I have gotten more from ALD or NSCS if I had put more effort in to it? Probably. So I guess it depends on what kind of commitment you're looking to make.
