I'm currently an active in my chapter, but should I deactivate, how would I go about reactivating? Is this possible to do as an undergrad?
Thanks.

Is this your first semester as an active?
Before "deactivating", I would write down your priorities, and make decisions carefully. Did you consider the time/money it would take, before you initiated? I just think to deactivate during your first semester sends a bad signal to the chapter. Your space could have been occupied by someone who COULD devote what was needed to the sorority.
I don't want to sound mean, but I honestly cannot see someone leaving first semester, then coming back when they "have more time" or money. If there is a financial issue, can you work out a payment plan? Get a small job? Even making $50 a week should help.
That being said, how much paraphenelia do you own? Are you going to continue to wear your letters? I don't know what's kosher at your chapter, but be aware that you may not be received well.
