Chapter Summary
[PURELY FOR EXAMPLE]
If you’re feeling lost or confused after joining DSA, here is a helpful guide on how to get started in the chapter!
Member Dues
DSA is a non-profit and fully self-funded, paying dues enables you to be able to vote in the chapter’s decisions! Dues are not a set amount and you can pay as much as you want to give. Click here to pay dues and choose the amount you would like to contribute. If you cannot pay dues but would still like to be involved in the democratic processes in DSA, there is a dues waiver you can fill out here.
New Member Orientation
Every new member should attend a New Member Orientation to find out more about the organization, how it works, what we stand for, and to answer any questions you may have. [Need to figure out how to route to finding out about upcoming new member orientations].

Getting Involved
Once you’ve attended a new member orientation, you should attend some political education events like Socialism 101 and Socialism 102 to learn more about the political beliefs of DSA and to gain some knowledge of socialism! The political education committee offers a variety of opportunities to gain knowledge and connect with other socialists in the process.
Socials are another good way to get involved, and there are socials held periodically in different areas in and around the Triangle.
One of the best ways to get involved in the organization is to join a working group or a chapter committee. If you want more information on this, please see the Chapter Committees and Working Groups pages.
Lastly, there are General Meetings every month. Every chapter member is encouraged to attend these meetings in order to participate in the democracy of DSA by voting on important chapter decisions. There will also be occasional informative presentations and chapter announcements during these meetings.
