In the USA, an honor society (or 'honour society') is an organization of rank, the induction into which recognizes excellence among one's peers. There are numerous societies recognizing various fields and circumstances; the Order of the Arrow, for example, is the camping honor society of the Boy Scouts of America. Chiefly, the term refers to scholastic honor societies, those which recognize students who excel academically or as leaders among their peers, often within a specific academic discipline.
Most honor societies invite students to become members based on their grade point averages of those students, either overall, or for classes taken within the discipline for which the honor society provides recognition. In some cases, membership in an honor society is considered exclusive; a member of such an organization cannot join other honor societies representing the same field. These organizations may be termed honor fraternities. They are in turn to be distinguished from closed general societies, whose membership may be exclusive but are not based primarily on academic achievement.
Honor societies exist at the high school, collegiate/university, and postgraduate levels, although university honor societies are by far the most prevalent. The majority of U.S. and international collegiate honor societies are affiliated with the Association of College Honor Societies.*
