Membership Process:

Prospective members must be proposed by a current member and a secondary member both in good standing. To begin the application process, the proposing and seconding members will write a letter in favor of the prospective member. These letters will be sent to the elective committee along with a completed membership application. Once the application and letters have been received and accepted, the name of the proposed will be posted in the lobby for a full one month cycle. Upon the conclusion of the posting period, all applicants in the current month will be invited to meet with the elective committee.
