Golden Key Honor Society

Does anyone know anything about Golden Key? They've issued me an invitation to join and are a very international organization with some great scholarships. But I'm not sure I'm going to bother...not to mention pay the joining fee.

They've been around a long time. That's about all I know about them.

If their scholarship money could be used for your Israel trip, it might be worth the membership fee to explore.
Is it aimed at freshmen or all classes? It seems mighty early on in your college career to be invited to join such a thing.

It's actually only for sophomores-seniors. But I technically apply...

I asked Marjorie Kostelnik, a dean at U. of Nebraska and she replied:
Golden Key is actually a rather exclusive honorary. We had a chapter at MSU and we have it at UNL. Many honorary societies are not too important. Golden Key is different - it has a good national reputation. Although you don't necessarily do much with it - it does represent an 'honor' in being selected.

Unless it's horrifically expensive to join, this sounds like a decent idea for you...

I am planning on it. The site won't take my credit card for some reason...but I can mail in information or just try again later. (No idea why the site rejected my card. I put enough money on the account, yes.)
