Contested deletion[edit]

This article should not be speedily deleted for lack of asserted importance because the four participants are among the best-known of the honor societies with histories that go back to the beginning of the American fraternal movement. The Honor Society Caucus is significant because it was formed as a counterbalance, an alternative to the ACHS, by four member societies (like Phi Beta Kappa for gosh sakes!) that rebelled over the costs and bureaucracy of their earlier organization. Those of us active on the Fraternity and Sorority Project keep track of all nationally-significant societies, and with them, the dozen or so ~trade associations to which they belong. The Honor Society Caucus is simply the newest of these trade associations, but its member societies have existed for a combined six centuries or so, with the highest levels of notability to the campuses they serve, and with hundreds of thousands of potential references. Further, these member societies are non-profits; inclusion of this article isn't intended for promotion but rather, to help readers keep track of them and understand why they are not members of the more well-known ACHS. This article provides clarity. --Jax MN (talk) 08:27, 8 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
