b. The active point system is defined by the following:

• 2 pts: Attending a general meeting
• 1 pt: Attending any sponsored social event
• 3 pts: Participation in workday
• 2 pts: Participation in a Service Activity
• 1-3 pts: Participation in a Chapter Project or Committee work (under discretion of officer or committee chair in charge of event)
• Additionally, the executive council may award up to three points at their discretion.

c. The active point system has the following stipulations:

• At least six points must come from meeting attendance
• At least two points must come from a non-meeting activity
• If a student is unable to attend meetings due to a scheduling conflict (e.g. class, work schedule), they are responsible for notifying the secretary prior to the meeting, and attaining four active points.

An inactive member loses rights and privileges of membership in Eta Kappa Nu including, but not limited to, the right to wear the honor cords symbolizing membership in Eta Kappa Nu at commencement. A member may regain active membership status according to the provisions outlined in Article III-Section 16.
