Are you referring to the OP's situation?

As I said, there are specifics that address situations where members may apply for temporary voluntary inactivity. From what the OP posted (and she hasn't been back, which I find interesting), she left school for a year and is now returning, boyfriend in tow. Unless she applies for temporary voluntary inactivity and meets the criteria that are specified in the Fraternity bylaws (and, like thetalady said, "inactive status is a complicated thing"), then she needs to either be a full-time, dues paying member, or resign.

That is, of course, unless she is a candidate for involuntary inactivity, which is a whole other kettle of fish.

As for live-in obligations and married members, I believe that would be addressed in each individual chapter's bylaws.

What about your sorority, DBB? How's it work for your members?
