Something to consider: you affiliate, and then something happens and you are no longer able to afford your dues. Had you not affiliated, you'd still be a member and retain all the rights and privileges and benefits of membership. Unfortunately, you now have to resign.
I've seen this happen more than once.
I've also seen women affiliate and not fit in, and as a result have a very unhappy experience. Every chapter has its own culture and personality.
Like we keep saying, so many variables, so many things can change, so many things to consider. Your cousin's chapter may vote, but others may not. Oh, I already said that. Sorry.
