Removed the one for honor societies

[edit]

Because it is not a GREEK umbrella organization. Even professional fraternities such as Alpha Phi Omega have pledging. Honor societies do not. Because honor societies are invitation-only, they do not have recruitment events, and that goes along with the lack of pledging.

There was a time when I was dumb enough to buy arguments otherwise. Then I finally managed to pledge (Alpha Phi Omega, in fact) as a graduate student. It made me realize that "Beta Beta Beta" and others like it have misleading names. An organization with no pledging (IE probationary initial membership) has no right to a Greek letter acronym for its name, and the fact that honor societies do that is a sin.
