The National Bylaws defines 9 membership types:
Pledge
Active
Associate
Advisory
Honorary
Alumni
Life
Extension
Petitioning
In theory, your "graduate" status, above, is a type of "active" status
(NBL allows chapters to define the degree of participation in the
chapter); same holds true for "transfer" (NBL allows chapters to
determine whether or not they wish to accept transfer members, and, based
on current practice, to restrict their rights as members); "inactive"
probably means "still a student on campus, not an associate, but not
active either", which is a situation which the bylaws do not address, but
that many chapters have; I haven't a clue what "probationary" means -
maybe a recently initiated Brother who is not defined as active?
Neophyte? I can't comment on that one. "Life" is not a chapter-added
membership type.
Never seen any other membership "types" other than the ones above,
myself. It depends a great deal on how you define your terms.
