Thats why you have to put a lot of safeguards in place. The two signature thing is a pain, but you make sure a culture exists in the chapter where members know they HAVE to plan ahead. Not only are two signatures required, but check requests have to be submitted to the treasurer a week in advance.
Also, the chapter I advise is a cash-fee chapter. Check or Money Order only. When I was an undergrad someone walked off with $500 in cash that had been collected in dues. That taught me a lesson to never accept cash. Its just trouble. So now, no cash at the chapter level.
