It is the goal for many students to be in as many clubs as possible. With college as expensive as it is, many try to keep their student involvement as high as possible, however this creates a problem. Since clubs and student societies require so much time, there is a limit on how many clubs, sports, or activities someone can do. Between school work, and volunteering, and practice, or rehearsals, many students find a need for a club that builds their resume but does not require a lot of time and effort. Spanish Honor Society is a great club to fill this gap.
Invitation
Spanish Honor Society is by invitation only; however, it is easy to get into with a bit of effort. An eligible student must be in at least Spanish 3 and must have maintained a 3.6 GPA in all spanish classes and a 3.2 in all classes. When looking for students, the Spanish Honor Society Monitors also look at other qualities such as: character, leadership, seriousness of purpose, cooperation, honesty, service and commitment.
Induction
Once a student receives an invitation they only have a few steps left. They must attend an informational meeting about expectations of society and most importantly the date of the induction ceremony. If someone can not make the ceremony, unfortunately they can not be in the society. The ceremony is fairly simple, just a pledge with some candles and a signature is all it takes to be inducted. Once inducted the only thing left to do is to maintain a 3.0 and orderly conduct then the student is in for life!
Leadership
There are also three leadership positions available in the Spanish Honor Society. There is the President and the secretary who simply work together to give a pre-written speech in spanish. And there is the Historian, who simply takes pictures of the induction ceremony for their record. That’s it! These positions are decided by a simple vote of the students in the society.
Spanish Honor Society is a great option for those with a sharp Spanish mind and a busy schedule. It is simple to get into and has three leadership positions that can be very helpful in order to build a resume. So, when looking for a society to join, consider this one!
