Member Benefits

Many of the benefits and services offered to Mensa members are listed below. Not listed are the endless opportunities for friendship and belonging through the vast network of social activities at both the national and the local level.


Mensa Bulletin
The magazine, sent out to all members ten times a year as a part membership, has everything from letters, gatherings, and member news to puzzles, wordplay, and book reviews.  Also included in the Bulletin is the Mensa International Journal.

Special Interest Groups (SIGs)
One of the most gratifying benefits of your Mensa membership is participation in a national special interest group, through which you can correspond with members everywhere who share your interests. Many SIGs also communicate through newsletters and online.  From Autism to Zydeco, you will find many Mensans with similar interests.

Three national/international special interest groups:  Lightning SIG, Science Fiction & Fantasy SIG, and TeenSIG, are run by members of Permian Basin Mensa.
