------------------------------
honorary: adjective

1.
given for honor only, without the usual requirements, duties, 
privileges, emoluments, etc.:
The university presented the new governor with an honorary degree.

Using the word _honorary_ means that the process is _not_ bound by the 
constitution ('the usual requirements'), because holding an honorary 
membership doesn't give any of the actual benefits ('privileges') of 
membership.

Unless the constitution specifically mentions honorary memberships and 
defines rules for granting them, there's no need to do anything other 
than print up a certificate.
