Uhh, as far as I know, anyone who attended A&M is considered a lifetime member of AFS. You donate to get other status (e.g. Century Club, etc.).

Perhaps you meant this:

Everyone is right. Everyone who graduated A&M is automatically a member of The Association. However, if you would like to be an active member, you can either join the Century Club each year, or do the Endowed Diamond CC which, as stated, is $25,000.
