The Executive Secretary will notify the local chapter of the remittance. The Life Membership Fee payment has no relation to a members obligation to remit his Annual Grand Tax through his local chapter. The Executive Secretary shall credit the Grand Tax payment received for the year in which the Life Membership Fee is completed to said Life Membership Fee account. All Life Membership Fee payments accrue in the LIFE MEMBERSHIP RESERVE FUND with expenditures disbursed on express vote of the General Convention.

Experience hath shown that members who have joined the fellowship — ALPHA PHI ALPHA FOR LIFE — are among the most active members participating and supporting their local chapter programs — ADDING LIFE TO YEARS.
