I remember enough business law from college to save you a step there. For a contract or element of a contract to be legally enforceable, there must be "consideration" -- each side must give something and get something. What you are describing is the classic example of one party not getting anything in return. A more typical case is where a company wants to modify employee contracts to add a new requirement or restriction. Unless they give the employee(s) something in return, such modifications are not enforceable.

For new members, of course, you can word the agreement any way you like.
