LATEST MEMBERSHIP NUMBERS
Your ID number is yours forever. Please be sure to reference it when
applying
for membership renewal. The latest ID numbers are in the 27,000 series,

they are now assigned in consecutive order regardless of the gender of

together.
To be Year 2000 (Y2K) compliant, the numbering system may change to:
CHAPTER-YEAR-NUMBER-RENEWAL, as in 0700-1973-04971-1999 or
0700-1973-04971-LIFE
If you can't remember your ID number, yours will be considered a new
application for membership, and you will be assigned the latest
available
national number.
