One thing that my school deals with is abuse of "inactive status" (what we call deactivation). It arises because our campus doesn't have a quota each semester, but rather allows each group to offer bids up to chapter total. So, sometimes a larger groups will have members that "deactivate" but still attend lots of social events, etc., just not attending meetings. That allows the sorority to stay below chapter total and thus pledge more girls every year. The issues around deactivation surround whether the member has truly deactivated or whether a sorority is allowing (and possibly encouraging) older members to do this to have more bids to give out during Recruitment. So, the stigma is on whether the privilege is abused by the group, not on the specific member herself.
