NSLS has been great in helping me recognize a lot of things about myself in terms of my leadership style. One of the most beneficial parts of the induction process was the Success Networking Teams because they set the foundation for a project that I have been looking forward to starting.”

I loved learning from the speakers. I loved the orientation and the collection of people to learn from all in one place. I learned that although you may fail, there are ways to change your perspective and grow and become who you want to be. It is really inspirational.”
Student
After transferring to Dean College and taking my first steps to induction, achieving my goal of making President's List was a valuable accolade that I can say was a product of the leadership training process. The training the National Society of Leadership and Success offers tested my limits and continues to teach me ways to positively influence the lives of others.”
Student
The NSLS is more than just an organization. It is a life boost, career boost, and an emotional boost. I definitely recommend the NSLS to anyone in search of an organization that will benefit and support their vision.”

The NSLS works with your university to develop the criteria needed to be invited to join your local chapter. While the NSLS helps guide the selection process, it ultimately comes down to who your school thinks will benefit the most from our programming. These criteria are usually based on GPA or leadership potential. As a legitimate honor society, we value providing leadership programming to anyone who wishes to become a leader and take the reins of their success. Students can also self-nominate themselves to join if they want to become a member but didn’t get invited.
Members must meet specific nomination criteria that are specified by local chapter leaders (usually based on GPA and/or leadership potential). You're considered a pre-inducted member once you have paid your one-time registration fee. To become an inducted member, you must complete the Steps to Induction listed in the previous question.
Students who wish to join but haven’t been nominated can still apply for membership online.
As a member, you have access to a wide range of training resources, networking events, and learning opportunities designed to develop your leadership skills. To become a fully-inducted member, students must complete the Steps to Induction.
Learn more about the Steps to Induction and everything you’ll do as a member here.

Throughout your college career, you may be invited to a number of different honor societies. Sadly, in some situations, scammers may pose as fraudulent honor societies to take advantage of college students. It’s essential to know how to distinguish between a scam and an honor society that will provide value to you.
Look for the below criteria when determining whether or not an honor society is legitimate:
Student success stories. A legitimate honor society will have testimonials and member success stories readily available. These stories should tell you how the organization helped members prepare for—and succeed— in their endeavors and the value it brought to their college experience.
Yes, the NSLS is a real, legitimate honor society. As a leadership honor society, our program and curriculum are focused specifically on leadership skill development and career preparation.
NSLS invitations are sent to select students based on their school’s criteria.
The NSLS’s leadership programming is delivered through a high-quality, thorough curriculum. Our program builds upon itself and requires the completion of culminating projects or activities that reinforce key lessons. Throughout this journey, members build their skills from the ground up and then apply those lessons to real-world projects.
Our leadership programming inspires members to think critically, develop a core purpose, build resiliency, and collaborate with empathy. We nurture a diverse community of leaders by providing hands-on experiences, skill-building activities, and time for self-reflection.
No. The NSLS is not a scam. The NSLS is a legitimate, accredited, and esteemed leadership honor society that is nationally recognized, with over 800 chapters and more than two million members at universities nationwide.
Reports of the NSLS being a scam are largely due to the fact that there are very real honor society scammers out there who take advantage of college students. The NSLS isn’t one of them. The NSLS partners with schools to bring leadership development to their campuses.
You can search through our chapter database to see more about the chapter you were invited to and our history with your school. So far, the NSLS has helped over two million members at more than 800 schools achieve success.
No, the NSLS is not a pyramid scheme. The NSLS delivers leadership development programming to students at partnering schools through local chapters on campus or online, depending on the school’s needs. If you have received an invitation to join the NSLS, your school has a local chapter led by a faculty advisor and a student-led Executive Board. Local chapters host events, help each other achieve their goals, and work together to complete the Foundations of Leadership program.
The NSLS National Office supports local chapters by developing curriculum, providing member benefits, and more.
The fee to join the NSLS helps us continually develop our curriculum and deliver new and engaging content to our members. Without a fee, we wouldn’t be able to reach as many future leaders as we do. To that end, we know that not everyone can afford the fee and have provided options to assist members who may be experiencing financial difficulties.
