<sigh>  Well, okay, so I read the docs.  Apparently, you must have 25
members to become a chapter.  Oddly, those 25 members must be... uh...
members.  So, I guess you join any old chapter, then when 25 of you get
together, you all go off and start your own chapter.  Or something.
<shrug> I dunno...

On the other hand, they help you find other members in your area.
That's kinda nice.

Aside from the membership requirements, you have to do the whole
legal-entity thing, have a board, and have /real/ meetings.  Yikes.  I
don't think I could do that.  My high school disbanded student council
after my presidency. :)

I just thought that I should probably give my $35 a year to this
place... but when I went to sign up, it wanted to know what chapter I
was joining -- and there wasn't one for me!
