The lineage groups are distinguished by the requirements for entry, which do ''not'' include Augustan membership, and which do include lifetime membership, insignia, and in most cases a proven descent.
'''The Society should work to name Deans for each of the Lineage Groups, and to encourage them to organize sufficiently that they may contribute to Society programs with more than their entry fees.'''
'''The Society should consider the creation of additional Lineage Groups in areas not presently served by another organization, and where there is sufficient member interest to suggest that the new group would be a productive part of the Society's programs.'''
