These are similar to Custom Questions for Event Registration Forms.  Ask any question of the person getting their membership.  The answers come directly from the User during their Membership acquisition and update the Membership database in real time.  You can add or subtract a cost to the existing Membership Fee based on the answers to these questions (ie: what size jerseys for purchase)   Answers can be in multiple check box format (ie:  Select the 3 volunteer positions you like best.)
