Disaffiliating Questions
 

To disaffilate, is that something I would go through nationals or my local chapter to do? Are there financial penalties for disaffilating?

Disaffiliate as in Panhellenic and/or recruitment purposes or disaffiliate as in terminating your membership permanently? If it's the first it's a local thing and the procedure is probably routine. You'll pay dues and remain on the roster while not being penalized for missing meetings or events during the disaffiliation period. If it's the second, you probably should contact your local chapter standards officer before making any decisions.

This completely depends on the organization you belong to and is a question you should direct to your Chapter President or Chapter Advisor.
