Abstract	Academic honor society alumni in two samples reported their undergraduate and post-baccalaureate education and employment experiences. In Study 1 of 108 honor society alumni leaders at an urban, private, faith-based liberal arts college, more men graduated cum laude yet attended top-tier graduate institutions and earned doctoral degrees than women who graduated summa cum laude but earned master's-level degrees. In Study 2, 147 leaders compared to 434 non-leaders from a random national sample of recent psychology honor society alumni enrolled in graduate school pursuing doctoral degrees and believed involvement in the honor society facilitated graduate school knowledge, networking with faculty, research skills, business and teamwork skills, and resume writing. Implications suggest that scholastic honor society leadership experiences may enhance student opportunities by facilitating the acquisition of important skills that impact positively on their future education and employment goals.
