As far as the examples you described, IMO that is what honorary memberships and recognitions are for. For example, ASA has a Mother Patroness award. If, say, a DG served as a chapter advisor for years for one of our chapters, we could give her this award and it would be fine. Same with a male - only we could give him our Phoenix Recognition (I don't think guys would be too thrilled to be Mother Patroness).
I think things like this should be available in every org, if they're not already.

Right, but as in the case for my org, an honorary membership requires the honoree to attend a ritual perofrmance. They arent a member unless they witness a ritual. Honorary or otherwise. Do yall have a ceremony for the Phoenix men? Does the chapter advisor getting the Patroness award go through your ritual? Thats what I am talking about, because thats what Euopolis referd to, the NAIC rule about "NIC, just like NPC, forbids people who have joined a member organization from ever under any circumstances joining a second member organization." I mean technically they arent "joining" but are being asked to join and its honorary, vs. sought after membership.
I was just wondering. Because I know some groups have no honary memberships. I think I saw on here Sigma Nu has none.
