I view it more as a last ditch social club for adult nerds, but its also something that everyone would recognize as being a good score. Saying 'I studied only a week for the GRE and still qualified for the masters program for every orthodontic school I applied to' doesn't really say much to someone who doesn't know the standards.
Lately though I have been thinking of joining, I'd need to retest, the GRE doesn't have scores earlier than 2001 anymore for some reason. I would do so just so I could impress some of the less educated potential patients that come into my office as its almost universally recognized. Personally I think it would be a bit pretentious so I haven't made up my mind yet.
All I know is that they don't have my kind of parties, for one thing no one is naked, for another I don't want to see them naked.

lol, that reminds me of these two guys I couldn't stand that were part of a larger group of people I used to hang out with. One had a masters in Music performance and they used to like to talk about how smart they were. They never directly said it but they'd try using obscure words and try to sound all intellectual. I always wanted to tell them that if they were half as smart as they thought they were then they would have gotten real degrees and also wouldn't be 33 yr old bartenders at chain restaraunts. Luckily, I was able to restrain myself.
They tried to get into Mensa but couldn't. Both were very socially stunted.
