why become a member?
Memberships support the mission¹ of The Index while covering a portion of our operating costs so that we are able to offer member-only social hours and various events without additional cost (beyond membership dues). Members have the option to pay membership dues on a monthly or yearly basis. Each membership is valid for one year and may be renewed (pending review by the Owners).
​
All members, regardless of tier, gain the following perks:
-
Library day access included at no additional cost;
-
Index-hosted event access (may incur additional costs);
-
Discounted rates for Index rentals; and

Steeply discounted last-minute Index rentals.
Choose your level of interaction with The Index from our various tiers, at a cost that fits your budget. We expect that our members maintain their monthly dues (if on the monthly payment plan) and treat the venue with care so that we can maintain The Index as an elysium for years to come.​
