WHAT MAKES A PERSON A SAINT? The description is found in Article 2 of our Disciplines:
All founding members of Greenfield Group are “saints” which confers upon them
all the privileges but none of the obligations of membership. In addition, the Group may vote to confer the status of Saint upon any member
who has been retired from the Group for a least one convocation. Sainthood is meant to reflect our high esteem for the retired member due to service in the Greenfield Group and
the longevity of the membership of the retired member.
