I'd also like to suggest that every member read not only their national handbook but their chapter bylaws as well. If your national handbook is not availablle in the private area of your national website you should at least be able to borrow it from one of your chapter officers.
As a collegiate, my own chapter had much stricter rules when it came to this sort of thing. We even had a Traveling Consultant try to convince us that ours were too harsh and should change the bylaws to match National's policy; but, we had our reasons and left them unchanged. I've been out of school for an eternity now so I don't know if they were ever changed in later years.
