That whole honor society racket is a pretty good idea considering that they target people that have zero resume, high schoolers. One way to pad a resume is to add a bunch of meaningless societies.
It hasn't stopped since I've been in College. A lot of people I know (myself included), have been invited to join various "honor" societies, fraternities, and sororities, most of which are barely legitimate and only celebrate the fact that you are, in fact, in college. There's nothing motivational to it, and it seems to be random, hence the tie-in to your Hampton experience.
"The Society of Thoughtful Hubskiers," only $9.99 a month with a minimum commitment of 24 months. Complimentary Hubski sticker included. I think I just figured out how to pay our server costs :)
