You can remove both, in my opinion. Phi Beta Kappa is more important & Dean's List/President's Honor Roll is a bit redundant with each other & with Phi Beta Kappa. Golden Key isn't worth mentioning unless accompanied by significant achievement.

I'd say remove Golden Key. Phi Beta Kappa is basically the same thing, just more prestigious.

Many view Golden Key as a bit of a scam since salaries & benefits are extremeley generous while scholarship awards are scant. It was started at Georgia State University & has received a lot of criticism for its handling of finances.

Yea, Phi Beta Kappa >>>>>>>>>>> Golden Key. I was thinking of starting my own honors society: Platinum Scholar. Only costs 50$ to join... anyone want in?
