To join House Volant, a prospective member must be sponsored by a Gryphon Knight, during which time the prospective member is considered a “recruit.” Recruits are encouraged to spend as much time as possible with House Volant to ensure they are a proper fit in the House and that the House is a proper fit with them. Recruits are welcome to wear House colors and a House belt flag, but recruits should abstain from applying the House sigil or heraldry to their gear permanently. Eventually, the Lord Volant or the sponsoring Gryphon Knight will either extend an invitation to the recruit to join the House or kindly suggest that the recruit find a different unit. Sometimes the Lord Volant or Gryphon Knight will make requirements of a recruit (such as attending a certain event or acquiring more garb or gear) before inviting them to become full members, though this is performed on a case-by-case basis.
