9. What is considered service?
Service Defined: An act performed by an individual or group in which neither compensation nor profit is gained for that individual or group.  Service should be performed willingly, putting the needs of others before self.  Service to assist organizations to which a National Honor Society member does not belong is encouraged, in that it reflects leadership and good character to ensure the success of others.
No double-dipping!
Be honest!
