When someone has their membership cancelled, either voluntarily or revoked, I think discretion is the key.
The current members should be informed, but spared the details. If anyone has questions, they should contact that former member. 9 times out of 10, regardless of why a member has left, it impacts the chapter morale in some way. Just like if your employer let someone go, or if someone quit-- that person's absence is felt.
If someone is "perping" as a member, reminders can be sent to that former member's current school and permanent (family) address, reminding them that they are no longer members and not eligible to wear or display letters, or claim membership.
Letting Panhellenic know, for paperwork's sake, is a good idea.
I don't think the sorority or the individual need the potential public embarrassment or rumors popping up by causing a scene, putting an ad in the paper or standing up at a Pan meeting. It causes a lot of unnecessary speculation that can lead to injuring the chapter's image.
