Standard members receive all membership benefits provided by Headquarters. By selecting this option, students indicate that they will attend the induction ceremony and participate in chapter programs whenever possible. Enhanced Membership provides a student with all the benefits awarded to standard members plus special incentives for actively participating in chapter programs. By selecting this option enhanced members agree to participate in chapter activities for at least one full semester or quarter. Opportunities for enhanced members to participate should be highlighted during the orientation.
Many chapters create a system which has several different levels of participation.
Awards are then given based on the level of participation achieved. At the end of the orientation members should indicate whether they choose standard or enhanced membership. Chapters who have implemented the Enhanced Membership Program agree that flexibility is the key element necessary for the program to succeed. It is important to offer alternatives to students when special situations arise. A simple honor system can be established allowing enhanced members to document their participation by writing their activities on a monthly report form.
