Active membership involves meeting all the point requirements
Inactive membership is for those that cannot attend weekly meetings due to time conflicts with class and/or work. It allows you to be exempt from weekly meetings with a documented excuse that clearly shows why you cannot meet that the scheduled time. Members may only be inactive for one semester, and are still required to earn all service, social, and fundraising points. Members who hold leadership or executive positions may not become inactive members.
