Sigma Chi Fraternity considers this "Ghosting" and a big NO NO.
WHAT IS GHOSTING?
Some highlights from the linked article.
Quote:
What happens when an active member is ghosted?
The chapter is withholding funds from the General Fraternity (a non-profit organization) that cannot operate without base revenue. This could lead to increased dues internationally.
The ghosted active member(s) is cheated out of appropriate membership status, membership benefits, lifetime membership opportunities, and associations with alumni and alumni chapters.
The chapter is considered to be embezzling from the General Fraternity.
Critical Risk Management Foundation payments are unpaid for ghosted members which leaves the chapter improperly insured and placing the members in jeopardy of policy infringement.
Headquarters stores and reports inaccurate database records.

And this.

What is the consequence of ghosting?
The appropriate officers that approved any and all forms in which a member is omitted will be strictly held accountable. Members found to be ghosting could incur consequences such as expulsion, fines, or suspension of membership.
