It depends on the chapter, but it's usually a combination of GPA and the types of courses taken. Congrats, Xeris.

Frats are like the gayest thing in the world...coming from a guy who used to know the frat scene very well in his area, and pledged for two of them before quitting after realizing just how gay frats are.

Seriously, it's not a frat. All the greek characters sound the same, honestly.

Honor societies exist for no other reason than to collect dues. Frats at least do things together.
Of course, you only live one life, and you make all your mistakes, and learn what not to do, and that’s the end of you.

GPA's a terrible measure of academic ability. Every Asian and his retarded cousin can get 4.0 GPA easy. % is where it's at.

Most collegiate honor societies go by % of class, not straight GPA, and most require a lot more than just grades.

all societies are created to mass power. dont be so niave to think they are mere profit generators. the world is run by secret societies and the networks generated thereof.

Nice. I got into Phi Theta Kappa, the community college version of this. I coasted at UCSD, though. =]
People who fail to distinguish Socratic Method from malicious trolling are sadly stupid and not worth a response.
