Re: Ho hum
As an undergrad, I was invited to join the IEEE. I threw the application out when I saw they still (at that time) required endorsements from two members in good standing. I was interested in joining a professional organization, not a club.
Since then, I've never seen any real reason to review that decision. I get significant benefits from my ACM membership. The incremental benefits of belonging to IEEE aren't compelling.
