• It is the responsibility of the student to establish that he/she has the credentials for membership as listed above (class rank standing may be established using GPA percentiles of any recent graduating class). After this is done, the student is officially a member once the appropriate Chapter / Affiliate Chapter officer forwards the student's name, address, and one-time Initiation Fee of $5.00 to the national secretary-treasurer
