National Society of High School Scholars?

I heard that some of you received an invitation to join the National Society of High School Scholars, supposedly a very prestigious organization.

Well I have my doubts about any organization that expects $45 from you to join and pays out a few scholarships to a few people, but you can make your judgments. In the meantime I have sourced for a few urls with regards to this for you to make your conclusion:
