Honor Society Core Values

Jan 13,2016

As Honor Society® grows as a society, it has become more and more important to explicitly define the core values from which we develop our culture, our mission, and our decision-making framework.

These are the ten core values that we live by.

Pursue Excellence

Honor Society® members pursue excellence in every area of their lives. Whether it be in their academic pursuits, as leaders in their group of friends and families, or in their careers the pursuit of excellence is a driver in decision making.

Innovate and Drive Change

Members of Honor Society® are creative and critical thinkers. They are not afraid to think outside of the box and to suggest change when it is needed. Honor Society® members are the change drivers that will make our future a better place.

Embrace Knowledge and Intellectual Pursuits

Honor Society® members are proud to embrace knowledge and intellectual pursuits. 

Seek Growth and Progress

Part of living out the Honor Society® values is to know that there is always room for growth and to seek it out. This means taking advantage of the Honor Society® resources, reaching out to professors for enrichment, and teaming up with peers to motivate and encourage one another.

Be Bold, Creative, and Open-Minded

Honor Society® members think outside of the box. They’re not afraid to make a statement, push the envelope, and be innovators.

Pursue Leadership and Take Initiative

Honor Society® members are leaders who take initiative when it comes to achieving what they are most passionate about. 

Build a Positive Team and Family Spirit

Honor Society® members are a team and a family in our national online community. Honor Society® is a welcoming and supportive community with members who are supposed to be there to support each other.

Do More With Less

Honor Society® members don’t wait until they have everything they need. They know they have what it takes to get started and take action in the beginning.

Be Passionate and Determined

Members of Honor Society® are encouraged to be passionate about their academics and their career. They are determined to succeed and do what it takes to make their academic pursuits a reality.

Be Humble

Humble leaders are respected. Members may become respected leaders, collaborators, and innovators across diverse fields. Humble leaders prioritize acting for the good of their team, not just what’s best for them personally.
