Basically, being listed as a member of an honor society at university level shows a prospective employer that not only do you have a degree, you got excellent grades in the process.
Look up Phi Beta Kappa, that should give you a better idea.
Thanks to all for the congratulations. I'm still wildly excited. The one GPA calculator I used shows that these A's should get my GPA up to 3.75 and therefore I will be eligible, but I haven't gotten anything from my advisor, so I won't know until and unless I do. Grades were due to the dean today (both my instructors got them posted early), so I may have up to a week to wait to find out anything. Believe me, if I get that email that I'm eligible, everyone in a mile radius will know it.... *grin*. And then I'll come tell y'all.
DG, you asked what's next. Well, the end of these classes marked my becoming a "senior" - I have exactly a year to go. The next session of classes will be Organizational Change and Social Issues & Technology. I have the books already, and I looked at the Social Issues & Tech. one, hoping it'd be about social media and business, but it's not. Apparently it's examining how technology advances human knowledge.
