Failure by the candidate to abide by the Initial Membership Development Process may exclude the candidate, Sphinx Club member, or Probate Club member from membership.

• A. True
• B. False
• C. Not Specified
• D. Depends

Answer: (A)

Adherence to the Initial Membership Development Process and the consequences of not following it.

If a candidate or a member of Sphinx Club or Probate Club does not abide by IMDP requirements, the organization has the authority to exclude them from membership. This reflects the purpose of IMDP: to ensure that all members meet established standards before full membership is granted or maintained. Because noncompliance can lead to disqualification or removal, the statement is true.

The other options don’t fit because the policy does allow exclusion as a potential consequence, not a situation with no consequence, no specification, or an outcome that depends on unspecified factors.
