What is the status option for an active member who is medically unable to participate in any activity outside of her home?

• A. Provisory Status
• B. Active Status
• C. Affiliate Status
• D. Honorary Status

Answer: (A)

The idea behind this status is to acknowledge a temporary, health-related limitation while keeping the member connected to the group. Provisory (provisional) status is used when an active member cannot participate in activities outside the home due to medical reasons. It preserves her membership and relationship with the chapter without requiring the usual level of active participation, and it signals that she may return to full active status when able. In contrast, full active status requires participation, affiliate status represents a different or partial level of involvement, and honorary status is typically for individuals recognized for contribution with limited or no participation.
