If your chapter is marked as "in pre-rejuvenation", this means that it did not meet at least one of the
<a href="https://isoc.box.com/s/d1j0fjx6dsic1zsr5sqqkxjfdcypb2t5">minimum requirements</a> for a chapter to be considered as "in good standing". Chapters in "pre-rejuvenation" now have until 01 April 2024 to regain an "in good standing" status.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
