An active member needs to actively participate in five (5) events in three (3) of the areas listed below. Attendance to three (3) consecutive meetings is also required (unless otherwise arranged). These requirements must be completed within a single semester. Having all these requirements does not necessarily mean that a member will be automatically activated; each activation will be decided on an individual basis by the exec board. It is also preferable to have worked at least one (1) L3 or S3 before being activated. Active members are eligible to crew chief events, receive an LnL identification card, and can vote in club affairs.
Associate members have attended at least one meeting and/or worked at least one event. Associate members may join the lnlnews mailing list to stay informed of events.
