\section{Membership}
\subsection{Resident Members}
Any person living in French House is a resident member of French House.
The only exception to this rule is a student who was placed in French
House by the MIT administration without prior consent of the house, and
who has no intention of sharing the responsibilities which are required
of resident members.

\subsection{Social Members}
A social member is defined as a person who does not live in French
House, but who is interested in French House and who participates in the
duties and activities of the house.  Social membership in French House
must be approved by the rest of the house members at a house meeting.
Prospective social members must not be present during the discussion and
vote on their membership.  Once accepted, social members retain their
house membership until they decide to relinquish it, or until they
cease to be a student at MIT.  If an alum wishes to continue being a
social member, the alum must pass for reapproval every year.  In the
extreme and  unlikely case that a social member does not fulfill the
requisite duties, the house may vote to revoke membership.

\subsection{Graduate Resident Tutor}
The tutor is a graduate student who lives in French House and who is
thus considered a resident member of the house.  The role of the tutor
is somewhat vague and subject to individual opinion, but may include the
following:
\begin{itemize}
\item  To serve as a liaison between French House and the MIT
administration
\item  To encourage the use of French in the house
\item  To suggest and/or organize French House activities
\item  To act as an impartial mediator in house or personal disputes
\item  To offer a sympathetic ear, and perhaps advice and counsel, to
house members who need it
\end{itemize}

The tutor is selected by house vote at a special tutor meeting, after
the house has had an opportunity to interview tutor candidates.  Again,
the basis of tutor selection is subjective and individual, but should
have some basis in French ability and the attributes listed above.  
%% The voting process is the same as for officer elections; see
%% Section~\ref{sec:elections}.  
The house's tutor selection is subject to final approval by the Dean's
Office.
