And about the whole drinking thing, in his chapter its basically equivalent to everyone in the chapter buying him a couple of drinks on a night out. That's less than 1% of his chapters budget. Obviously no one in the fraternity has too much of a problem with this or they would have obviously set things in stone. Lets remember here, that just because you're chapter runs a certain way doesn't mean it is true for everyone else.

I've been treasurer of my UG chapter so umm... yeah. i just think with chapters with SO many members (or hey, with so much money), there needs to be a higher authority, or at least someone who has the confidence that they can effectively handle thousands of dollars. There's no 100% fool-proof method to not getting the shaft when it comes to chapter monies. Though it takes a special person to steal from a budget and cover it up effectively (apparently not effectively enough, but its kinda like a lawyer knowing how to bend the law in their favor).
and no, i dont think that every chapter should run the exact same way. i think thats a given.
