Michelle-

Sorry I misunderstood you. Some key areas to focus on are membership status and attendence at events.

In regards to membership status, the chapter should outline their requirements for inactive status (keeping in mind that they must agree with the National Bylaws). Also early alumni status is an item that many chapters include in their bylaws for members that have gotten into graduates school and are in their final semester.

In regards to attendence at events, the chapter should outline how many excused absences are allowable, fines for unexcused absences, fines for absences from required events, etc.

The Alpha Eta chapter has a standards committee that enforces such absences and fines. It seems to work well for that chapter.

As you read by-laws from other chapters, you find other items that will work well for your chapter. Best of luck to you, and I hope to meet you soon (maybe at convention?).

Sisters,
Robin
