The money pays for your membership benefits. The remaining money is used for certificates of membership, publications to members, national programs, regional conference, national convention, and national staff support for each chapter. Participation is voluntary, however, there are a number of wonderful opportunties for members to get involved. Review activities that the local chapter is involved in.
Membership is by invitation only.
Eligible students are sent letters of invitation. To become a lifetime member, send the completed profile form and membership fee to national headquarters in Atlanta, Georgia by the deadline date. I meet your requirements, but I haven't received a letter. If prospective member meets all these requirements, complete an eligibility inquiry form and give to the advisor to verify information. Once information is verified, an invitation will be sent.
