How to Membership: The membershipping process involves the attendance of three house dinners (we eat at 7pm during the weekdays) and the completion of a membership meeting which we try and schedule to coincide with your third dinner. The membership meeting gives house members and prospective house members an opportunity to ask questions of one another and allows the house to ensure that all incoming members are open-minded, thoughtful, and respectful of all people, cultures, and ideas.

To those membershipping from outside of Madison; if it will be difficult or expensive for you to attend 3 dinners we can email you the interview questions for you to answer.
