So I feel silly making this post- I'm not one of those "toot-your-own-horn" kind of people, but I am trying to take pride in my successes (aka not be so hard on myself) so I thought I'd share this. I was invited to join the U's honor society, Phi Kappa Phi. Read the description below, but the honors are basically reserved for the Top 10% of students in a graduating class. Meaning, I am in the Top 10% of all seniors and graduate students at the University of Utah graduating in 2008. Pretty shocking. When I got the e-mail saying that the application was sent to my house I just deleted it, thinking it was one of those "Who's Who" nonsenses. Then, the director of admissions called me to ask me if I had applied yet. Anyway, it basically means I get to wear honor cords at graduation and get to put it on the resume. Yippie.
Here's the description....
***Congratulations on earning an invitation to membership in The Honor Society of Phi Kappa Phi! It means that you are among the very best and brightest that your university has to offer—not just in your chosen field of study, but among all academic disciplines.
The Honor Society of Phi Kappa Phi is the nation’s oldest and most selective all-discipline honor society. Standards for election are extremely high. Membership is by invitation only to the top 7.5 percent of second-semester juniors and the top 10 percent of seniors and graduate students. Because Phi Kappa Phi is highly selective, membership is a stamp of excellence that is recognized by graduate and professional school admissions committees and employers alike.***
