Depending on whether or not you can arrange something with your chapter president, you may have to apply for national inactive status, which sort of stinks. But remember, no matter what, your sisters are always there for you. Good luck, and I hope your grandfather gets better!

Thanks for stopping in our forum!
Are you an SAI too? Hope so cause we need some more around here.
Here's the deal with Inactive status. It is ONLY granted under a few very specific conditions...and one of them is medical problems, which SAISouthernGirl said she is dealing with. As long as she owes no money to the chapter and is in good standing otherwise, it will be granted.
The thing with Inactive status, and why nationals cracked down on it, I believe, is because I think many sisters were going inactive for reasons NOT listed in the Chapter Proceedures Manual and were taking advantage of it.
Although, some things about Inactive are fuzzy to me; I hope when they release the new CPM they make it a little more clear.
