Hey Guys,

Not entirely sure where to put this one, so mods, move it if needed.

Ok here's the deal. I am graduating from my university in May with my BSBA. The money-spending time is coming (invitations, cap and gown, etc.) and I don't know what to do about honor cords and honor stoles. I am in three different honor societies, which I am proud of and have worked sort of hard for, and I don't know which honor cord set to wear. Is it considered "rude" or "out of the norm" to wear three sets of honor cords? Or two sets of honor cords and one honor stole? Or should I just pick one set of honor cords?

In case you are wondering about the credentials needed for each honor society:

Gamma Beta Phi (3.0 GPA, community service)
Beta Gamma Sigma (3.6 cumulative GPA with BSBA)
Alpha Chi (3.65 cumulative GPA with any degree)

Should I just wear the Alpha Chi cords since it's the most prestigious academically? Sorry if this post sounds obnoxious but it's a serious question. I don't want to look stupid on graduation day

Thanks for your time.
