Anyone know of, or has info on the National Alpha Beta Kappa Honors society?

It is my opinion that honors societies are, in general, Gnar-Gnar lame to the max. :mumble:

Yeah, recognition for outstanding academic achievement is really dumb

Yup, that and $1.50 will get you a small house coffee at Starbucks.

Well - I wouldn't do it since jimmy dean thinks it's a bad idea.

Your bet would be relative to what specific information one is attempting to gain and seek about said subject.

I've found the different chapters for different schools, but nothing difinitive. I suppose it's a good item on a resume..

For someone with a long work history as yourself I would say it is a waste of space on a resume. Honor societies are for new grad resumes who are trying to differentiate themselves from the thousands of others with identical resumes that include little more than a degree.

I can be, very much so if the resume is for a school related position.

I'm just bitter because I never got higher than a 3.75 GPA. But then again, I have never been asked what my GPA was when applying for jobs either.

True, however for a career change, I believe it is relevant, and the career of a paralegal it, in my opinion would be relevant. This will also hold bearing on my entrance to law school.

I graduate in less then a year with a Bachelors of Science Degree in Paralegal Studies. I've already finished a year and a half...

I already qualify for a position as a paralegal, but I seem to be having a bit of difficulty in obtaining a position.. So in essence, I may as well be a new grad, per se.

*edit* well that sounded a bit stuffy.....

I dunno. I got invited to one of those and when the first activity was polishing a bent I handed it back and said no thanks. There is recognition and there is meaningful recognition.

they do differ. some are fluff, but i think it's PBK that's not. ABK may well be a total joke.
