Our high school math team certainly never had any kind of pep rally,
despite that fact that we were consistently the most successful team
in the school.

One thing that always bothered me was the National Honor Society.  In
our high school at least, people were chosen for this partly on the
basis of activities, with certain activities given certain points.
Things like athletics and cheerleading were given more points than
things like math team and working on the yearbook.
