PROBATION

Any chapter which becomes delinquent in any obligation(s) to the National Fraternity/Sorority shall be contacted to encourage prompt fulfillment of its obligations(s). The National President, in consultation with the National Council and National Executive Director, shall place a delinquent chapter on probation. Probation shall be accompanied by such terms and conditions as necessary and appropriate to correct the deficiency or failures of the chapter and ensure observance of fraternity or sorority obligations. Chapters will automatically be placed on probation for failure to pay Chapter Fee and Member Dues by the deadline. Said chapter's Chapter Sponsor, District Governor or Counselor, and District President shall be notified within ten (10) days of disciplinary action.

SUSPENSION

Upon receiving information that a chapter is not following the policies and procedures of the fraternity or sorority, the National Council shall discipline said chapter by placing it on suspension. All chapter functions and activities shall be suspended pending an investigation by a representative of the national organization who shall make a written report to the National Council within 10 days following the conclusion of the investigation. The National Council, after reviewing the report and the chapter's response and any other information provided to them, may take appropriate action to discipline the chapter. All meetings of the chapter under suspension must be approved by the Chapter Sponsor and the National President and shall be attended by the Chapter Sponsor. The chapter may appeal the disciplinary action imposed in accordance with a procedure established by the National Council to ensure due process to the chapter. Said chapter's Chapter Sponsor, District Governor or Counselor, and District President shall be notified within ten (10) days of disciplinary action.

CHARTER REVOCATION

Upon due cause, including the continued failure of a chapter to follow the policies and procedures of the fraternity or sorority, the National Council shall revoke the charter of the chapter. The National Headquarters shall take appropriate measures to effect surrender of the chapter's charter and other items of identification with the fraternity or sorority. Where appropriate, remaining collegiate members of the chapter shall also be expelled. The chapter may appeal the disciplinary action imposed in accordance with a procedure established by the National Council to ensure due process to the chapter. Said chapter's Chapter Sponsor, District Governor or Counselor, and District President shall be notified within ten (10) days of disciplinary action.

REINSTATEMENT

A chapter charter which has been revoked may be reinstated after inspection by a representative of the National Organization, provided that the petitioning group meets the standards required for a new chapter and that all financial obligations accrued prior to revocation of the chapter charter shall have been settled. A chapter so reinstated shall be granted its previous chapter name.

INACTIVE

If a chapter becomes so small that it is unable to function, the chapter may be placed on inactive status by the National Council. During this period, the chapter shall be relieved of all national financial obligations, which would otherwise be incurred. It shall lose all voting rights at conventions and the right to initiate membets. Membets of the chapter prior to inactive status who are in good standing shall be transferred to alumni membership. An inactive chapter may be reinstated to active status by the National Council, provided that the petitioning group meets the standards required for a new chapter. Said chapter's Chapter Sponsor, District Governor or Counselor, and District President shall be notified of these actions within ten (10) days.
