Active…Reserve…Collegiate…Honorary. You may be very familiar with these four classes of DKG membership. However, there is another membership status that you may not be so familiar with, and the members in this category may be hiding in plain sight.
What does the member who wants to maintain her membership in DKG do if her chapter unfortunately dissolves?
What does the member who wants to maintain her membership in DKG do if she moves to a location that is totally isolated?
One alternative is that the individual may request state organization status. It is very important to remember, however, that a member MUST have been inducted into the DKG organization as a chapter member first before she can consider requesting state organization status. State organization members continue to receive the benefits DKG offers such as insurance and publications etc., but the member will not be affiliated with any one chapter.
ISR 3.02: "An active or reserve member who does not belong to a chapter because of geographic isolation shall be retained as a state organization active or a state organization reserve member. Status as a state organization member must be requested. State organization membership refers to the unit to which the member belongs."
