I still think that the honor society and honor grad faculty should check them before they march. Last year, the NHS advisor refused to let the members who had done dual college/high school enrollment wear their stoles because they hadn't come to any meetings--they were taking their college classes. Punishing them for excelling! There was a huge uproar and the national office of the NHS said there was nothing they could do. One of Tall Son's sisters found her old NHS stole and told him to wear it anyway but he said it really didn't matter to him anymore and we didn't want him getting jerked out of line. Now I realize he probably wouldn't have but the difference was that he had earned his stole. These kids earned nothing.
Dr.Phil may be right about it being more trouble than it is worth. One thing I can say is congratulations to your children for excelling and doing so well in school. Didn't you say your children ended up going Greek? If not, I bet kids with so much intellect would be a great asset to any organization! If they are Greek, their organizations got lucky to have some great members wearing their letters! Doing well in academics is always a great thing! Good job at raising such smart kids, Carnation!
