Jack and Jill (organization) - Legacy Membership

Legacy Membership

Legacy status is granted to a child who graduates from a Jack and Jill Chapter and whose mother is a member in good standing at the time of the graduation. The female child or spouse of a male child is entitled to automatically become a member upon submission of an application and payment as long as they have a child at least 2 years old at the time of installation. The following requirements apply: • Legacies may attain membership through this process only once. If legacy status was granted to the first spouse of a male child, any subsequent spouse must seek membership as a new member. • Legacies are oriented and initiated with other incoming members. • Members who do not fulfill the obligations of membership are subject to the same process of membership termination outlined in bylaws.

New members joining through legacy status shall be in addition to chapter quota and initiated yearly. Terminated members may not reapply for membership under legacy status. A mother who has completed her tenure in good standing and wants become a member again is entitled to automatically become a member of the chapter where she is presently living upon submission of an application and payment. The one-time National Headquarters Fee shall not be due upon rejoining the organization. In the event of the member’s death, her children may continue their affiliation with the organization if the parent or guardian so desires. The deceased member shall be classified as having completed her tenure in good standing thereby granting legacy status to her children.
