A society may admit to benefit membership any person not less than fifteen years of age on his nearest birthday who has furnished evidence of insurability acceptable to the society. Any such member who applies for additional benefits more than six months after becoming a benefit member shall furnish additional evidence of insurability acceptable to the society. Any person admitted prior to attaining the full age of eighteen years shall be bound by the terms of the application and certificate and by all the laws and rules of the society and shall be entitled to all the rights and privileges of membership therein to the same extent as though the age of majority had been attained at the time of application. A society may also admit general or social members, who shall have no voice or vote in the management of its insurance affairs.
