Regarding your statement about Theta, that's not quite accurate. I can comment on Kappa Alpha Theta. Financial inactivity is difficult to obtain and the member who is applying must complete a rigorous, thorough application process which undergoes review at several levels. It is
typically granted for a semester if the member qualifies; it may be extended up to a year under extraordinary circumstances.
As for attending events, the inactive member may attend
as a guest only upon unanimous vote of the chapter. There is no option for paying a fee to attend events. An inactive member is just that - inactive. Think of the financial and membership implications if members decided to go inactive and just "pay as you go" for various social events. Oh yeah, sure...
