If you have no procedures for this, your group should really sit down and formulate a standard plan for this in the event of any case in which you think someone should be removed from membership. This is not something that should be done willy nilly. Having procedures voted on and written out to follow anytime a questionable event occurs is what more established groups do. From my experience, having members in question speak to a standards board to investigate, go into probation if needed and be removed from membership if the situation progresses that far is the usual way that things are handled. The matter of how many sisters are needed to vote to place a member on probation or to remove a sister from membership is what you need to decide and how fully involved you want your alumnae in this process. I would encourage you to have all of this well thought out and documented. Letting sisters know what these procedures are is also important so that everyone is on the same page as to what actions may lead to probation or dismissal from the group.
