Membership in this Society is by invitation only. An applicant for membership may join the Society either through a chapter or as a member-at-large. An applicant for chapter membership shall be endorsed by two members in good standing to whom the applicant is personally known and who shall write letters stating the qualifications which would make the candidate a desirable member. An applicant for membership-at-large is admitted in the same manner as one for chapter membership, except that the application shall be made directly to the Registrar General rather than the Chapter Registrar. No member-at-large is eligible to be a delegate or an alternate to the meetings of the National Society or a chapter, to hold a national office or chapter office, or to serve on a national or chapter committee. She shall, however, be eligible to attend the General Business Assembly of the National Society. ~Bylaws Article IV
