First of all, congrats man. Making Dean's List is a great honor unto itself (and something you shouldn't hesitate putting on your resume/CV).
I'm a little weary of "pay for the privilege" honor societies. I did pretty well in school, and I received some similar offers. There are many predatory organizations out there looking to make easy money in exchange for a formal document you can point to in a job application. Employers are likely going to be more impressed with your GPA and experience. You should be proud of your accomplishments, but I might do a little research into the organization first. Honors are supposed to be just that: rewards for your hard work and talents. Having to pay for an honor is a little sketchy. It's usually the other way around, and they pay you by way of scholarships.
All that said, do what feels right. I think you already have enough to beef up your future resume just by being on Dean's List.
