Kappa Delta works pretty similarly to Tri Sigma, from what KSUViolet posted. Sisters can request inactive status for medical or financial reasons (with documentation) for a semester or two at most, if I remember correctly.
When I was a collegian it was a HUGE deal to resign membership at my campus. It just wasn't done unless there were extreme circumstances. Depledging happened but that really wasn't seen as a big deal at all and didn't carry much of a stigma if the girl went through Rush again.
Back to what Honey said about the new, shorter new member periods, I remember talking to Kappa Delta's National President about this a few years back. She said that since the shortened periods resignations had gone up something crazy like 700% across the board Panhellenically. (one of the reasons the shortened time-frame irritates me.)
Whether it was the shortened period, just a different campus culture or the fact that this was nearly 18 years after I was a collegian I don't know. But when I worked with another KD chapter at a different campus resignations were rampant. I'd say about 20 a year. The girls thought nothing of it. I was baffled....and annoyed.
