Membership in The Links falls into which three categories?

• A. Active, Alumna, and Honorary
• B. Active, Alumni, and Honorary
• C. Active, Alumna, and Associate
• D. Active, Members, and Honorary

Answer: (A)

The three membership categories reflect how members participate and stay connected with The Links. Active members are the people who participate regularly in meetings and projects and meet the chapter’s duties. Alumna refers to former active members who have completed their active participation but remain connected to the organization through the alumnae network and ongoing support. Honorary members are individuals honored for exceptional service or support who don’t partake in the usual active participation requirements. Using Alumna (the female singular form) aligns with a women’s organization and differentiates former active members from the broader, often male-form plural “alumni.” This combination—Active, Alumna, and Honorary—best captures current involvement, past active participation, and distinguished non-participation, which is why it’s the correct set.
