That number does not surprise me. I'm not sure what to do about it though.
I guess I can start with myself, I am financially active but not a member of the local graduate chapter. I was a member up until a year ago. My reasons are family responsibilities have my 'plate' completely full.
After the summer break, I'm thinking of participating in the local chapter again. If I do, I would recommend increased visibility in the community to attract inactive members. When I think back to my undergrad days before I became a member, my undergraduate chapter was always in the limelight doing something positive. That increased my desire to become a part of the organization.
