I think this is reasonable to collect because members may be attending Order activities, service projects, events, camping, etc.
IV. COMMUNICATIONS
I give the Draconic Order permission to contact me regarding membership matters, Order activities, meetings, events, service opportunities, and other Order business.
☐ Yes
I would also like to receive general announcements and other communications from the Draconic Order.
☐ Yes ☐ No
This gives you some separation between necessary membership communications and general/promotional communications.
V. PHOTOGRAPHY & MEDIA
This is one I think you'll eventually want because your organization is going to be very event- and photo-heavy.
Photographs and video may be taken during Draconic Order activities and events. I authorize the Draconic Order to use photographs or video in which I appear for its website, social media, publications, promotional materials, and documentation of Order activities.
☐ Yes, I give permission
☐ No, I do not give permission
You may ultimately want a more formal standalone release, particularly for minors, but having the preference captured during enrollment is useful.
VI. GOVERNING DOCUMENTS & MEMBER RESPONSIBILITIES
I acknowledge that I have been provided access to the governing documents and policies of the Draconic Order applicable to my membership.
☐ I acknowledge
I agree to abide by the governing documents, policies, standards of conduct, and other requirements of the Draconic Order while participating as a member.
☐ I agree
I understand that membership in the Draconic Order carries both privileges and responsibilities and that membership may be suspended, terminated, or otherwise affected in accordance with the governing documents and policies of the Order.
☐ I understand and agree
VII. HONOR • FELLOWSHIP • SERVICE
As a member of the Draconic Order, I pledge to conduct myself in a manner consistent with the principles of Honor, Fellowship, and Service and to treat fellow members, participants, guests, and the communities we serve with dignity and respect.
☐ I so pledge.
That last checkbox could be fun to make “I so pledge” rather than another sterile I agree. It feels like crossing the threshold into membership without getting ridiculously ceremonial.
VIII. MEMBER ACKNOWLEDGMENT
I certify that the information provided in this enrollment is accurate to the best of my knowledge. I understand that completion of this form, payment of any required dues, and satisfaction of applicable membership requirements completes my enrollment in the Draconic Order.

Notes:
I think this gives us a very clean separation:
Application for Admission = Who are you? Where have you been? Why are you interested in us? Are we comfortable admitting one another into this relationship?
Membership Enrollment = You're approved. Now let's formally make you a member, collect the information we genuinely need, establish the agreements, collect dues, and give you access.
And importantly, we're not asking them to tell their life story twice.
I don't want the for the order stuff right now. This application will be an online form. Payment will go through Zeffy...remember that conversation? LOL
LOL. Yes, Zeffy. 😂 We specifically landed on Zeffy doing the heavy lifting for donations, membership fees, smaller events, and booth-type sales. So I absolutely do not need payment method, dues received, check/cash, or any of that nonsense on this form.
And if this is an online enrollment form, we can streamline it considerably:

I still think we eventually want a separate, more comprehensive media release, particularly where minors are involved.
