[edit] DESCRIPTION
The Gehenna Society is Doctor Zaccheus Odd's thinly-veiled excuse to subvert the bipartisanship of the Academy and assemble the Leaguers in one place -- and to gather his favourite students, a la the Slug Club in Harry Potter. Despite the invitation email citing "outstanding academic achievement", grades do not matter for a Gehenna membership. Only your ideology does. Most hardcore Leaguers merited an invite, as long as they aren't explicitly henchman material.
Ideally, activities include:
- study groups,
- field trips or access to conferences,
- guest speakers,
- assistance with and career placement and Neopolitan graduate program applications (especially at Arcanic University, Alexander College, Neopolis University, Miskatonic University, and Arkham Academy),
- partnerships to help nonprofit organisations, including the Thaumatological Society, the Gothic Maladies Fund, and Dr. Horrible's Horribly Horrible Hospital for Horrible Hemorrhages.
[edit] INVITATION EMAIL
As seen here:
If you are receiving this email, you have been invited to one of Neopolis Academy's first honour societies, created to recognise outstanding academic achievement and eventually connect high-achieving individuals locally, regionally & globally with lifetime opportunity, reward & success. The benefits of the Gehenna Society go far beyond academic recognition. Member benefits range from League-sponsored scholarships and development opportunities to internships and apprenticeships. Through the Gehenna Society, I plan to help empower students with the tools to help them realise their full potential.
Via association with other like minds, the Society will provide campus and community service opportunities enabling personal growth and leadership development as well as collaborating with academy faculty and administrators to develop and maintain high standards of education. Culturing associations with other ambitious students will help explore ideas that allow for personal and collective growth, and serve as a better stepping-stone towards one's lifetime pursuits.
Membership in the Gehenna Society would promote distinction as a scholar and as a high achiever, and assist with Neopolitan graduate program applications and career placement. I have contacts at Arcanic University, Alexander College, Neopolis University, Miskatonic University, and Arkham Academy, all of whom would be very excited to hear from you priveliged few -- if you accept Gehenna and its associates onto your resumé, that is. I ask for nothing else but your loyalty to the group, and you will be amply rewarded with field trips, conferences, and partnerships with numerous nonprofit organisations, including the Thaumatological Society, the Gothic Maladies Fund, and Dr. Horrible's Horribly Horrible Hospital for Horrible Hemorrhages.
There will be an orientation session on the first day of school (Monday September 28th) at 4PM, for all those interested in joining.
RSVP with your intentions. This invitation will only be sent once. Nominations for other students' membership will be accepted until the 26th, but I make no promises about entertaining said nominations.
