If you can, should you?

I had been curious about Mensa, so I went to a meeting of the local chapter the summer before my senior year in high school, when a friend invited me. I thought it was fairly lame. But I'm sure it depends a lot on particular groups, so YMMV.

My advice is, if you feel you have enough activities on your plate, you're likely not missing much, and I wouldn't lose any sleep over it. Otherwise, check out a local group and see if it looks like it's up your alley. If it seems interesting, go for it. IMO there is no "status" benefit from joining, so if you go, go for the activities & socialization.
