For Alpha Kappa Psi Business Fraternity, you're not considered a "lifetime member" untill you have donated a total of $500 or more to the national fraternity, which really isnt a hard thing to do over the course of a few years, however like any GLO with a closed ritual (members only) you may not join another business fraternity after joining AKPsi.
For Alpha Phi Omega Service Fraternity to be a lifetime member there is a one time fee to pay. If you pay it before you graduate as an undergrad it's one fee(the cheaper one), and if you pay the fee after you graduate then it's a different, more expensive fee. Why the fee's vary I do not know.
As for Theta, once you are initiated and remain in good standing you're a lifetime member.
My dad is a Sigma Chi. I'm not sure about specifics so I encourage other Sigma Chi here to correct me if I'm wrong, but my mother told me when my brother was born (before my birth),or when they knew it was going to be a son, my dad did something with Sigma Chi nationals to be a lifetime member and started getting all this Sigma Chi stuff sent to their house etc.(which he still receives today) because he wanted a legacy. However losing my brother three days after his birth is still very sensitive to my mother and my father eventhough 26 years have passed, so I feel bad bringing the whole issue up to my dad (the only thing that makes him cry). So if any Sigma Chi's on GC would like to enlighten or correct me if I'm wrong please do
