How is a 'member in good standing' defined?

• A. A member who is current with dues, adheres to conduct rules, and has no pending disciplinary actions.
• B. A member who attends all meetings.
• C. A member who has served in an elected office.
• D. A member who volunteers for extra duties.

Answer: (A)

Being in good standing means you meet the organization’s basic requirements: you’re current with dues, you follow the conduct rules, and there are no pending disciplinary actions against you. This combination keeps you eligible to participate fully—vote, hold office, and take part in activities—because it shows you’re financially responsible, behave in line with the chapter’s standards, and aren’t under active sanctions. The other options describe involvement or roles (attending meetings, having held an office, volunteering for extra duties) that aren’t what define good standing; those duties may be part of activity, but they aren’t the baseline condition for being in good standing.
