Article IV- Charters Section 1. Eligibility for Charter To be eligible for a charter, a group must be officially sponsored by a local B'nai B'rith Unit or a B'nai B'rith Men's Lodge, or a city-wide or regional B'nai B'rith Council. If there is no B'nai B'rith Chapter or Lodge in the locality, the group shall be sponsored by a committee of adults or a responsible Jewish organization or institution subject to the approval of the B'nai B'rith Youth Commission. The group petitioning for a charter must agree to abide by the uniform constitution and by-laws for the B'nai B'rith Girls. The groups must have an adult advisor who has been appointed by the staff member in the area.
Eligibility is based on a prospective member's grade level rather than by age.
Membership shall be limited to eligible Jewish young people in grades 9 through 12. Chapters may accept eighth graders on April 1 providing staff approval is given. In areas with limited prospective membership, eighth graders may join subject to approval of the Regional Director and B'nai B'rith Youth Commission. B'rith Girls shall terminate on June 30 after high school graduation, although full participation may continue on any level without re-registration until August 30. 5. The only exception to this policy shall be in the case of the International N'siah who may extend her membership beyond the normal policy.
