I question the real world value of general academic honor societies. Sure it's nice to be recognized, but these seem more like mutual admiration groups than anything meaningful. I sure wouldn't give someone who listed such memberships on their resume any more attention than someone without this "extra qualification." I liken it to those people who've gone to a prestigious school who make a point of mentioning it in the first 5 minutes you're talking to them. And remind you of it if you work with them.
Professional societies that award membership based on performance are a different matter, because those recognize a more practical application of skills and knowledge.
But just being smart is no big deal to me. Real world performance is what counts.
