Eta Kappa Nu
Apparently my scholastic achievements are good enough to get me into Eta Kappa Nu, the Electrical and Computer Engineering Honors Society. I guess when the time to put the list came together my name got on there somehow, despite the fact I'm taking one pseudo-class this semester.
I wouldn't be sitting here so bemused by this except for all the work I did with Tau Beta Pi (the comprehensive Engineering Honors Society), which is substantially larger than EKN. Did I also mention I was chairman of the public outreach committee my first year or that I sat on the engineering college council meetings as the TBP representative? Or the fact that I was chapter president for '04-'05? Possibly even that I've been a voting delegate to the national convention or that I've argued in front of a 500 person assembly to alter organizational bylaws? Let's also not forget all the events I helped put together or the legal battles I fought for on behalf of the organization when ASU tried brow-beating me with the Buckley Amendment with regard to new members.
Let me just say that I had a rather busy year running the show and being a lot of places. I don't particularly want to be involved with another society, but I very well may show up for the free food. 'Cause that's really what being in an engineering honors society is all about: the free food.
