The Society's Headquarters Office is located in Oak Ridge, Tennessee. Graduate students must have completed at least twelve credit hours of graduate work. Any additional qualifications for membership imposed by the local chapter must be approved by the National Senate. Tangible benefits of membership include a first-class certificate of membership, two decals, and a copy of the Constitution. Upon notification from the chapter, graduates in good standing in the chapter receive a small, beautiful seal to affix to their diploma.
Membership is completely transferable to any other college or university where a chapter exists.
All members are invited to both State and National Conventions each year. Each Chapter sends delegates to the annual State and National Conventions. The National Senate, made up of an Advisor and a student from each chapter, is the legal and controlling agency of the organization. Within the circumference of national policy, each chapter of the Society institutes its own local Bylaws governing matters of operational procedures, regulations, and membership qualifications. There are no assessments by National Headquarters upon individual chapters.
